¿Qué estaba pasando? Imperfect continuous, preterite interruptions

Spanish

This unit focuses on revisiting the imperfect tense. Pupils revisit imperfect forms of 'ir', 'ver', 'ser', -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. They use imperfect forms of 'estar' with a present participle for events in progress in the past, and use the preterite for interruptions.
