I recently failed my spanish test on preterite and imperfect tense and was very stressed because I could not grasp when to use which when my teacher taught it. I just viewed your video teaching when to use which as well as this one and have grasped the concept of them both in 10 minutes, what I could not get in 3 hrs from my professor! Thank you so much!
hi!! i´m spanish. when i found these lessons i was very happy ´couse people are trying to study spanish, to all of them, do your best! to profesor jason: i wish my english teachers were like you! i think you should talk about "usted" form, you only talk about the plural "ustedes", anyway le agradezco lo que esta haciendo to any student: i would be happy to help to anyone to learn spanish, homework or whatever. adios desde españa
Gracias!!!! This lesson has been the most helpful to me so far. I will watch and re-watch and take notes too. I look forward to the next lesson. I appreciate all these lessons very much. Estudio español todos los dias.
you are a an awesome teacher. very clear and easy to understand. thank you for putting your time into this. I am moving to Peru next month and I need help! thanks again
originally i thought of this guy as a nerd, but then i thought into it. Hes a college professor that posts some of his lessons on youtube. thats pretty cool! i wish my teacher did this.
Excellent video! This is my first real look at preterite and imperfect verb conjugations but the way you just tought it I should have no problem with conjugating regular verbs. O and just so you know when you were going over Regular IR verbs in el imperfecto you said Ustedes vivíais by accident, just thought I would let you know. Great video! Thanks! :)
in pervious lessons he explains that el/ella and usted are all one form, at least i think he did. But in saying that, whenyour learning spanish you get to kow this early on so its not necessary to repeat it each time.
@akemikat Think of it less like ongoing and more like something that used to be a trend. The difference is only implied most of the time in english but whenever you use "would" in a sentence talking about the past it's like the same thing. So like, "yesterday I punched a dinosaur in the throat" would be preterito but "Back in my day we used to punch dinosaurs in the throat" would be imperfecto. That's because in sentence one it's more defined and happened once but the second shows a trend.
Outstanding lesson! My only critique would be to not say "just quickly" because it interrupts the flow of thought and creates a kind of tension. I think you would be fine to leave that out and take the time to say everything you think needs to be said! I play this lesson over and over to help memorize.
Awesome thank you so much this was great, I'm really having trouble with this but at least now I know there are two different forms for past tense - all I have to do is memorise them, and then memorise when to use each one. Am I right, or is there some other form of talking in the past? Please, no.
ups!!! if he did it i dont remember, but in that case ellos/ustedes are all one form too...anyway like i said great job! and very useful adios desde españa
Muchos gracias, amigo... It would be great if you could label the titles, 1, 2, 3 etc and also give an indication of the level... eg... beginner, intermediate, advanced.... I am somewhere a little past intermediate...thanks
Both of them, The only difference is based on the use of the pronun: (spain) vosotros, in south america: ustedes and the conjugation: E.g. Verb to talk SA= Ustedes Hablan - Ellos hablan Spain= Vosotros Habláis - Ellos hablan This difference is because the spanish language spoken in spain is more ancient and it still keeps ancient forms (it is also known as "castellano"), meanwhile latin people changed this form and we use the same conjugation in both ustedes and ellos pronouns.
Here I am, two months later, still none the wiser. Please help me, I do not understand this: Why is the fact that I used to live in Canada 'ongoing' in the past? To me, thats very much completed. And yet we use the imperfect ongoign: Vivía en Canadá ..and not the perfect - completed, as it seems ti should be: viví en Canadá This does not make sense to me? The one thing I can not grasp is what the HEC is something IN THE PAST - and yet ongoing? Seems entirely contradictory to me.
If I spoke to a woman yesterday and chances are I'll never see her again then I'd use yo hable but if in the past I talked to her and we are in a social circle and I talk with her and someone asks me something and I'd say Yo hablaba because even though it happened in the past it's continuing to happen in the current present.
@Theknowledgeisnow Hey, you still need someone to exchange with? haha im from ireland and trying to learn spanish from scratch, it would be great to have someone to exchange with :)
El tiempo pasado es el tiempo más duro en español. No es pues difícilmente si tienes manos en ayuda. La piedra de Rosetta es maÌn profesor. Y porqué eres que da el " Vosotros" forma. Es insustancial tener en América.
you shouldn't use online automatic translators, they translate everything literally and what you want to say loses all sense. Spanish is my native language and I had a really hard time understanding what you wrote. I had to translate it to english in my mind! lol Anyway, its true, vosotros has no use in America.

thanks i learned a lot
Great video, shame about some of the comments...
how hard is it to conjugate spanish verbs does that take time to learn fluent spanish
Both of them, The only difference is based on the use of the pronun: (spain) vosotros, in south america: ustedes and the conjugation:
E.g. Verb to talk
SA= Ustedes Hablan - Ellos hablan
Spain= Vosotros Habláis - Ellos hablan
This difference is because the spanish language spoken in spain is more ancient and it still keeps ancient forms (it is also known as "castellano"), meanwhile latin people changed this form and we use the same conjugation in both ustedes and ellos pronouns.
muchas gracias, ldawg!
AMAZING!
excellent.very useful
i need learn more spanish!!!!!
Gracias! This was very helpful.. or Esto Video fue muy *helpful lol
Bravo!!!
thanks alot man
Professor - seems to me that 'ver' is NOT irregular in the Imperfecto.
The imperfect tense is kind of like in the language Latin
-Bam
-Bas
-Bat
-Bamis
-Batis
-Bant
thanks alot mon !!
Gracias
:)
OK now i'm really confused?? Is this European spanish, or South American Spanish?
@Kirsteenymoo isnt it sad how we learn more from the internet than we do in school? lol
@mariekitu uh no? i have lots of friends? go around youtube lol all my friend love me soo much
Don't confuse about it, just use them dependidng on the country you are.
Bye
Here I am, two months later, still none the wiser.
Please help me, I do not understand this:
Why is the fact that I used to live in Canada 'ongoing' in the past?
To me, thats very much completed.
And yet we use the imperfect ongoign: Vivía en Canadá
..and not the perfect - completed, as it seems ti should be: viví en Canadá

Gracias por enseñe mi espanol tiempo pasado y tiempo futuro, mi profesor no querá ensener mi.
