Hi, hope all are doing well. My question is. What is the easy way to remember the differences between the preterit and the imperfect and when to use them correctly? Thank you.

I see you've already done lesson 2.10 on this subject in the Learn section but since it's been awhile, it might be good to review it. There are some good grammar practice sections on this site,too' where you can do a quick review and then answer the questions.

The imperfect happens regularly but in the past... something you did fairly routinely and was an ongoing event for the most part.

The preterit happened and it's done.

There are a lot of good threads on this that you can use your SD search engine for too.

Good luck!
