Using both preterite and imperfect tenses, describe a happy memory from your life. where were you? when did this event occur? who was there? what happened? how did you feel?

your response should consist of at least 5 sentences in spanish.

Explanation:

When you want to write something like this, you need to know 2 things:

1. When to use preterite and when to use imperfect

2. How to conjugate them, both regular and irregular verbs

*It's good to know that both are past tense.

When to use:

Imperfect is used with:  DAT HAF

Descriptions in the past - like, "she was wearing green socks"

Age in the past - like when you're saying, "I was young..."

Time - like, "it was 6pm"

Habitual actions - like, "I used to go to school everyday"

Actions in progress in the past - like, "Dad was washing the car"

Feelings - like, "I felt bad or I felt happy"

Preterite tense - Is used with everything else that isn't in this scenario.

Actions that only happened once and are not repeated - Like, "I ate dinner"

Remember:

Make your mind remember by saying: "If it isn't DAT HAF, then it only happened once."

The next thing to do is practice your conjugations. You can use something like the website spanishdict or conjuguemos to practice knowing which endings match what.

Create:

Finally, pick a scenario or story that you can describe in 5-10 simple sentences.

Something like:

-Talking about a gift you got (like a pet or cool electronic)

- A visit to a theme park or surprise visit from a friend/family member

- The first day of school

- Meeting a new friend / celebrity

Good luck!
