🇪🇸 Spanish · Imperfect

Learn Spanish imperfect with music

The imperfect describes ongoing past, habits, time, age, and background scenery. It pairs constantly with the preterite—master both and past narration opens up.

When to use imperfect

Habitual past (cuando era niño, jugaba…)

Ongoing background (mientras cocinaba, llamó)

Time, age, and descriptions in the past

Practice tips

  • Use imperfect tracks for “used to” stories before adding preterite punch lines.

  • Drill ser and ir imperfect (era, iba)—they appear everywhere.

  • Read along with karaoke sync to match endings to syllables.
