Just when I thought it was safe to go in the water... - LateToDinner, May 7, 2010

Answer 1

I go to the store every day.

Voy a la tienda todos los días.

Answer 2

I went to the store every day.

Iba a la tienda todos los días.

Is I was going to the store every day and I went to the store every day the same thing, because I always view iba as "I was going" just me. - jeezzle, Apr 25, 2010

I also read "iba" as "I used to go." - --Mariana--, Apr 25, 2010

Gracias. Iba .... I was going and I used to go. - jeezzle, Apr 25, 2010

Would not "went" be an acceptable substitute for "I used to go"? - danrivera, Apr 25, 2010

So I was correct? I just wanted to make sure I had it right? - danrivera, Apr 25, 2010

well went, as I view it is usually fui (I went) but thats a "point in time" thing... ie it is preterite. Imperfect past indicates that you "were going" as in more than once, you went more than once, hence the confusion with went. He was going to the store - jeezzle, Apr 25, 2010

and imperfect past should be correct here it's just that, iba is a little different than most imperfect past verbs in that it seems more like, was going or used to go, and I don't personally see it as went per se but I do think that it works as went in - jeezzle, Apr 25, 2010

your sentence. - jeezzle, Apr 25, 2010

Okay, thanks! :-) - danrivera, Apr 25, 2010

good sentence! - Fidalgo, Apr 29, 2010

¡Gracias! - danrivera, Apr 29, 2010
