Example Preterite Rule 1: Juan comió una hamburguesa.

Preterit Rule 2: you can also use the Spanish preterite tense to describe actions that happened a certain amount of time (not past habitual actions).

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to write rules that apply to the Spanish preterite tense ("pretérito perfecto simple" in Spanish) and to the Spanish imperfect tense ("pretérito imperfecto" in Spanish) and then write some examples. To come up with some examples it is important to read and understand the definitions.

Another example for the preterite tense could be "María salió de su casa a las cuatro" and for the imperfect tense could be "La panadería estaba cerrada los lunes por la tarde".
