1. Play "Preterite vs. Imperfect Battleship". Set the enemy level to EASY. Click on the battlefield until you hit something. Then you will be asked a multiple choice question. You will need to select the correct tense and conjugation based on the given sentence. Play until you WIN and then show me the board with the "congratulations" message after you win (show/bring the chromebook up to me before continuing or leaving the page).

Example Problem:

I drew.

A. dibujo
B. dibujó
C. dibujé ......... CORRECT: Preterite because it is a complete action
D. dibujaba

TIP: If you make a mistake you will see an ORANGE TARGET remaining. Click on it again to attempt the question again.

HELP: If you continue to make mistakes and don't know why, review the rules governing the use of preterite and imperfect as we discussed yesterday. Also you can review the basic endings below if conjugation is the problem:

Here are all three regular preterite verb forms together:

hablaron	comieron	vivieron
