This is the second blog post about the Imperfecto, the first is here - it is a good idea to study it before looking at this one.

The imperfect is a past tense that expresses the meaning of (a) a repeated action in the past (used to) and (b) what was happening - background information.

For this second usage, we often use it with the Pretérito....

eg. Cuando limpiaba la casa, mi amigo me llamó.

Watch the video and practice. 

Try the quizlet to practice. It is quite challenging, but a good exercise.
