No quería tener hijos pero de un día para el otro cambié de opinión. (I did not want to have children, but I changed my mind overnight.) Some tenses mix like peanut butter and jelly or Nutella and French bread (if we’re staying culturally accurate). Some do not. Don’t just go putting your peanut butter (the imperfect tense) with onions! With the perfect tense Tuvo — We use the preterite because the action was already completed (my grandma’s sister was already dead).Whether you are developing new software or working on a new thesis, a pinch of salt makes the food tasty. Oh sorry! Imperfect. Now let’s look at these two sentences in Spanish, and notice how the meaning slightly changes based on which tense I use: Sure, deeming things (or people) perfect creates an illusion of a ‘standard’ that must be followed. But we can admire the beauty of others, whether things or people, without questioning our own. Hence, let’s avoid using the word ‘perfect’ to describe awesome things. There are many great adjectives in the English vocabulary to use instead, yet the term ‘perfect’ sometimes just seems to fit better than the others.

This will come more into play when we start mixing our tenses together. You’re describing how something looked or felt When the world was created, even before that, before the big bang, there was nothing. All you can see is darkness everywhere, even though no one was there to witness that. But still, can you picture that as perfect? The imperfect is one of those tenses you’ll love to learn because it’s super regular (only three irregular verbs in the entire tense!) and the endings are easy to remember. When to Use the Past Imperfect Tense The second sentence has two instances of the imperfect. I used iba instead of fui because “going to the beach” was a routine (or habitual) past action. And vivía (I lived) is in the imperfect tense as well because I lived in Mexico for an ongoing, unspecified amount of time. Preterite and Past Imperfect Examples The idea of perfection causes reinforced standards that we cannot live up too and this can be very discouraging.Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inward and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at the office, at school, or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us.

And a life without someone or a world without someone is lonely, and it’s not perfect. It’s truly imperfect. And by this imperfection, I mean an endless void. Here’s an example of the verb hacer (to do, to make) conjugated in the preterite. It’s the only one of this group with a slight irregularity—the third person singular changes to hiz-.

Here are some examples of verbs in both of these past tenses—as you compare the sentences, remember that verbs in the preterite happened and ended at a specific time, whereas the imperfect past is used for unspecified durations of time and habitual past actions. VerbIf you know the n ous form of any verb, then you know the stem if you chop off the – ons. That’s good news if your present tense conjugations are fresh, and bad news if that’s not your strong suit. Ser (to be) and ir (to go) have the same preterite conjugation. So you’ll know which verb is being used in a sentence based on context. Pronoun
