Question

What are some differences between the Preterite tense and the Imperfect tense?

Answer 1

Imperfect tense takes place in the past, over a period of time, like an ongoing event. like for example "yo hablaba con mis primos todos los dias", or "I used to talk to my cousins everyday". Imperfect describes the past but only for one event, such as "yo camine a la tienda de ropa" or "I walked to the clothes store"

Answer 2

In very general terms, the preterite tense is used to refer to a single event that happened at a specific point of time or had a specific duration in the past, while the imperfect tense is used to describe ongoing events or events without a specific time period in the past.
