Explanation:
The preterite and the imperfect are the two past tenses that are used in Spanish. The imperfect is used to describe habitual actions. The preterite is used to talk about actions that interrupted something that was already going on. An example of a diary entry using the imperfect and preterite would be:
<em>Hacía </em>buen tiempo con mucho sol y no <em>había </em>una sola nube en el cielo. Nosotros decidimos salir a pasear con el nuevo perro de Lucía. <em>Estábamos </em>caminando cuando, de repente, apareció un venado en medio del sendero boscoso.
