Preterite vs. Imperfect in Spanish
$129.00
The past tense in Spanish is one of the more tricky concepts for English speakers learning Spanish. There are two past tenses (preterite and imperfect) and they are not used interchangeably. They have very specific uses that can change the meaning of what you are trying to say.
In this workshop series we will help you master these past tenses!
This is a 6 week course hybrid course the alternates between video lessons and live classes on Zoom. Jan. 2nd the course opens and you will have ONE week to complete the lesson and study materials before attending the first live session on Jan. 9th.

We provide you with quick and easy video lessons, downloadable lesson notes, templates, flashcards, quizzes and other activities for further study to acquire these Spanish skills and to test your knowledge.
