The Preterite vs The Imperfect
 Definition
Preterite:
single, completed action (what someone did or didnt do)
highlighted, main action
beginning or conclusion of an event
action that interrupts another action
with verbs associated with time expressions like ayer, anteayer, anoche, una vez, dos veces, el mes pasado, and de repente
Verbs that refers to states or conditions take on special meaning- focus on the completion of an action- supe (i found out), quise (i wanted to- and did), pude (i was able to- and did), tuve que (i had to-and did), tuve (i got, received)


Imperfect
habitual action or event (expresses something you used to do or would always do in the past)
background action or description that sets the stage for main action (including time, location, age, weather, and physical and emotional states)
middle of an event or emphasis on indefinite continuation of event
ongoing event or action in the past or event that is interrupted
past actions, conditions, and events that were anticipated or planned
used with time expressions like todos los días, cada semana, siempre, frecuentemente, de niño(a), and de joven
verbs that refer to states or conditions take on a new meaning- they emphasize the ongoing nature of an action or cognitive process- sabía (i knew), quería (i wanted to- outcome undetermined), podía (i was able to- outcome undetermined), tenía que (i had to- outcome undetermined), tenía (i had- in my possession)

Verbs that refer to states or conditions: saber, querer, poder, and tener
Term
Affirmative and Negative Expressions
 Definition
affirmative negative
algo nada
alguien nadie
algúnm alguno(a) ningún, ninguno(a)
o...o ni...ni
siempre nunca
también tampoco

a negative sentence always has at least one negative word before the conjugated verb
if a negative word precedes the conjugated verb, the negative word no is omitted
express neither/ not either with a subject pronoun + tampoco
place ni before a noun or a verb to express the idea of neither...nor (both of them)
the words algún, alguno, alguna, algunos and algunas are adjectives; use algún before a masculine singular noun
ningunos and ningunas are used only with nouns that always come in pairs or plural
