SP2 Preterite and Imperfect Test - TUES., 4/26

We will have a 40 question multiple choice (A/B) test on Preterite/Imperfect past tense usage on Tuesday, April 26th.

This test is based directly on the spanishdict.com practice quiz:

Preterit vs. Imperfect - differences and signifier phrases

• You should practice this quiz online, taking note of any problems you miss (and why), and continue to practice until you are regularly achieving 90% accuracy or more.
• Aim to pass the quiz TWICE with 90% accuracy BEFORE next Tuesday in order to be completely prepared.

Additional practice:

1) Try Studyspanish.com's Preterite vs Imperfect Part I: Quiz #1

• Careful with #12 and #13:
• 12. The girls spoke to the professor.
  [Hint: Was it once or more than once?]
  Las chicas ( hablaron / hablaban ) con el profesor.
• 13. I needed more books.
  [Hint: How long did you need them?]
  Yo ( necesité / necesitaba ) más libros.
• Take note of any problems that you missed. Ask yourself if you could explain to another student why the correct answer is what it is.
• Suggested writing exercise: Write ten sentences. In five sentences use the preterite tense. In the other five sentences, use the imperfect tense. Check these with me.
