Respuesta :
imperfect says that the past action did not have a definite beginning or a definite end. You have now learned the basic difference between the preterite and the imperfect: The preterite tells us specifically when an action took place.
Both the preterite and the imperfect are for the past tense (but they both have different conjugations). Use of the imperfect tense implies that the past action did not have a definite beginning or a definite end. The preterite tells us specifically when an action took place.
