In this lesson we’re focusing on a new tense, the imperfect, which is used for descriptions and to talk about repeated actions in the past. It’s a very straightforward tense, and Francesca shares some great news about the Imperfect in this episode! As usual, there are lots of examples and Mark and Francesca will test Isla on her understanding by the end of the lesson.

C’è un errore nelle bonus notes della lezione CBI-2.21.
Numero cinque dice “aveva otto anni” per “I was 8”. Dovrei dire “avevo otto anni”.
Grazie! We’ve fixed the notes and have uploaded them to the Academy.
