Abstract
In this lesson, the students will learn the concept of the other
past tense, the imperfect. They will have already had the concept of
the preterite. They will need to be taught the endings and that the
imperfect is used for the past when something used to happen
frequently, or was a continuous action in the past. In order to do
this, the students will see a Power Point presentation for the
presentation of the material. They will have practice via the
textbook and worksheets. They may also use the suggested web site
for practice on the computer.

Lesson
Prerequisite Skills
The students must be able to conjugate verbs and recognize
different subjects in Spanish. We will also have discussed one of
the past tenses so that they have a basis for the uses of the
imperfect.
Teacher
Information/Situations/Setting/Time Be sure to point
out the possible translations of the imperfect endings. For example,
would is a possible translation when discussing things that happened
in the past. That doesn't mean that all translations of would would
require the imperfect.
Assessment
You could give a written test for conjugation comprehension. You
could also give a computer type test using the web site provided.
You can look at the student's answers as they take the test and they
can check their answers on their own.
Student Activity/Tasks Students will
