Fluent in SpanishShow Notes
A podcast for intermediate Spanish students with a video version. You are never EVER going to use these two tenses correctly if you don’t understand the nuances native speakers see in both, because that nuance make us choose one or another. What I am telling you in this podcast has not been told to you yet. I will tell you a story with pretérito imperfecto, and then with pretérito indefinido or preterite. They both are correct. How come?! Yes, the same contexts are correct for imperfecto vs. indefinido. Let’s learn the difference between Preterite vs Imperfect. This would be your beginner’s and intermediate’s guide to the past tense. And let’s learn why some rules are not always going to work. This is the first episode of two.
