The imperfect is also called the “present of the past”. We use it to tell past actions that had a duration. We also use it to describe an atmosphere and to tell past habits. At the end of this course, you will master it and be able to use it in combination with the compound past, the pluperfect and the conditional present.

The pluperfect is also called the “past of the past” or “the past of the imperfect”. We use it to tell action that occured in the past before another past action.
