I can use the imperfect continuous to talk about what I and other people were doing in the past.
Show transcript
Words stressed on the penultimate syllable don’t have an accent if they end in a vowel, -n or -s.
The imperfect continuous describes what someone was doing, e.g. 'estaba(s) caminando por la montaña.'
The preterite tense is used for completed actions in the past.
We can give extra information about when something happened using the relative pronoun 'cuando'.
We use 'cuando' + preterite to show a short action interrupts a longer, ongoing action.
