THREE RELATIONSHIPS
The main actions of a story are generally related to one another in these three basic ways:
• Acciones en proceso y simultáneas: Use the imperfecto to describe two or more actions that were
taking place (or were ongoing) simultaneously: in other words, to say that the activities were happening
at the same time. Connect the two actions with y (and) or mientras (while).
Patricia miraba el desfile en la televisión mientras yo decoraba la mesa.
Patricia was watching the parade on TV while I was decorating the table.
• Serie de acciones completadas: Use the pretérito to express a series or sequence of completed actions:
in other words, to say what happened, one thing after another. Connect the actions with words such as
primero, después, and luego.
Primero Ana y Luisa cenaron en un café; luego se reunieron con unos amigos.
First Ana and Luisa had supper in a café; then, they got together with some friends.
• Una acción interrumpe otra acción: One action may interrupt another that was already taking place.
Use the imperfecto to describe the ongoing action.
Use the pretérito for the action that began, ended, or otherwise interrupted the ongoing one.
Connect the two parts of the sentence with cuando (when) or mientras (while).
Mientras veían los fuegos artificiales, empezó a llover.
While they were watching the fireworks, it started to rain.
