You would use imperfect. The imperfect tense means there was no definite beginning or definite end, however preteriré, or preterite means there was a specific time it took place. Hopes this helps!

If an action is completed, then you use the preterite. If the action was a reoccurring action or an ongoing action in the past, then you use the imperfect. Select one: True False
