Imperfekti-säännöt
Tiivis teoria imperfektistä:
- menneisyyden rutiinit: Lisa trained football for 7 years but she quit a month ago.
- tarkka aika menneisyydessä: They bought a new apartment last year.
- täysin päättyneet tekemiset: : Pete wrote the composition in an hour yesterday.
Muodostus:
- Väite: pääverbin 2. muoto, muists SPOTPA: I travelled to Spain last month.
- Kielto: They didn ´ t buy the tickets themselves.
- Kysymys, muista KASPOTPA: Which option did you choose the previous time?
