En inglés, describe la diferencia entre el pretérito y el imperfecto. (in your own words) también da (also give) 2 ejemplos (examples) en español - una frase en el pretérito, y otra (another) en el imperfecto.

the preterite tense is for actions that happened at a specific point in the past, like i ran, i ate, or i drove. the imperfect is more for describing the way things were, what someone used to do, or what was happening over an extended time, like i always used to run, i was eating, or it was sunny.

preterite examples:

ayer hablé con el profesor (yesterday i talked to the teacher)

viajé a francia el verano pasado (i traveled to france last summer)

imperfect examples:

siempre jugaba con mis amigos cuando era joven (i always used to play with my friends when i was young)

siempre viajaba a francia con mi familia (i always used to travel to france with my family)

i hope i explained that well :)
