1 Answer
- In the imperfect of indicative (an action has happened yet):
De lejos se veía un pequeño pueblo.
(Imperfect is used when an action lasts long time). We are seeing a village for long time. Our eyes keep the look in the village few seconds.
If the action "ver" is very fast, so you can say:
De lejos vimos un pequeño pueblo.
In this case we use the simple past of indicative. It's a short action. Suddenly we see a village.
- In present of indicative (an action is happening in this moment):
De lejos se ve un pequeño pueblo.
