espanol dos – lmperfect vs. preterite lyrics
[intro]:
fixing up past tense spanish verbs is easy/
just follow this guide with no de-lay/
try to keep up with our word play/
soon you’ll be talkin’ like native you hear say/
we use the imperfect to talk about ongoing action/
was, were, and how something happened/
don’t forget repeated action/
if there is no definite beginning or end/
the imperfect will be your friend/
time, date, age, feelings and descriptions/
the imperfect is the right prescription/
interrupted activity is included in/
knowing this will help you achieve/
learning the imperfect and will be your reprieve/
[hook]:
we conjugate spanish verbs look at our perfect rhetoric/
you could call it past, but we’d rather call it preterite/
to figure it out at last, let’s finally settle it/
we’re the best around and you know that we will level it/
here are words that trigger the imperfect/
remember them so you can be corr-ect/
the imperfect shows things that occur more than once
don’t forget the rules or you’ll seem like a dunce/
siempre warns that the sentence ahead/
is always imperfect no matter what else is said/
next todos los dias means everyday/
don’t use the preterite or your grade will sway/
“yo jugaba al futbol mientras que mi mama lee”/
shows mientras as trigger number three/
another word is nunca which means never/
it’s important not to miss it so don’t say whatever/
casi siempre is another trigger that can be seen/
it means almost always and distinguishes a routine/

we conjugate spanish verbs look at our perfect rhetoric/
you could call it past, but we’d rather call it preterite/
to figure it out at last, let’s finally settle it/
we’re the best around and you know that we will level it/
memorize these easy steps for much satisfaction/
use the prederite for a one time action/
or when you know there’s a definite beginning and an end/
always use the preterite tense to make amends/
it’s also used when saying what events came about/
like when you tell about the time your first tooth fell out/
cuando means when and is an important trigger word/
it indicates an interrupting action has occurred/
these words use the key to getting it right/
learn them by studying a little each night/

we conjugate spanish verbs look at our perfect rhetoric/
you could call it past, but we’d rather call it preterite/
to figure it out at last, let’s finally settle it/
we’re the best around and you know that we will level it/
can’t identify the imperfect from preterite/
there’s no time to panic or throw a fit/
just remember these triggers and you’ll be okay/
if you’re talking about last month, last year, yesterday/
un dia, anoche, el dos de febrero, a las tres, anteayer /
the imperfect has to disappear/
you’ll need the preterite in order to proceed/
so don’t be a fool or you won’t succeed/
it already happened so it can’t be changed/
you’ll have to use the preterite or you’ll sound strange/

to figure it out at last, let’s finally settle it/
we’re the best around and you know that we will level it/
