Description
Lesson 06 · Pretérito Imperfecto · The Past Film 🎞️
One tense. One verb. One apple.
The Pretérito Imperfecto describes what things used to be like. Instead of memorising tables, you learn it with a picture: the Past Film 🎞️. It shows habits and situations on an endless loop, with no clear beginning and no clear end. Everything revolves around one verb (comer) and one object (una manzana). That is very little – and that is exactly why it sticks.
- yo comía
- tú comías
- él comía
- nosotros comíamos
- vosotros comíais
- ellas comían

Good to know
This is a lesson, not a complete textbook: it covers only the Pretérito Imperfecto with the verb “comer”, with no irregular verbs. “él” stands for él, ella and usted, “ellas” for ellos, ellas and ustedes – the verb form is the same in each case.
