This is a video I had to make for Spanish class to try and explain the difference between the Preterite and Imperfect past tenses of Spanish. I’m hoping I got the point across, please leave feed back!
OK, so I just realized that at 4:45 that the slide just stops mid sentence, I personally think it is simple to figure out what it is saying. But of course I would, seeing as I made the movie, if anyone needs clarification or even just has general questions, please either message me or leave a comment and I will get back to ya asap.
At 3:30 I had used the improper tense of “Haber” which is actually “Hubo” because it is an irregular verb. I still can’t believe I had made that simple mistake. Thank you AppuruChan for pointing this out to me.
27 May 2008 – Wow, 1,000 views? This is amazing. I honestly didn’t think I’d get this many! Thanks so much for viewing my videos.
If you guys are having trouble with any Spanish, feel free to message me. The only thing I ask is that you give me enough time to actually prepare a video. A week or so would be great. So if you’re having trouble with learning different verb forms, need help with vocab, or anything else. Feel free to message me.

I’m happy it helped …
I’m happy it helped you. I left out vosotros because I never went over it in my Spanish classes so I don’t know anything about it. If I had the time I could teach myself. I’ve been contemplating remaking this one so perhaps I will add vos.
