| | There are references to the future in the prophecies, but if we were to do a statistical analysis of the language forms in the Bible we would find that the most common forms are the past. | | | The preterite can only be divided into two parts logically. | | | Today we have the simple past, the "preterite" which does not follow the regular three part analysis and we have to look at it from another point of view. |

| | Preterite and Imperfect: General |
| | There are many other ways to describe when one should use the imperfect or the preterite, but all of them are just different ways of describing the aspect of the verb in question. | | | The usage of the preterite and the imperfect is one of the most difficult aspects of Spanish for an English-speaker. | | | Of course, there are always some uses that do not necessarily fit the rule, such as the fact that one always tells time in the imperfect ("era la una"), and there are even some verbs whose meaning (or at least whose translation) changes when one uses one tense or the other. |
