The verb pedir (to ask for / to order) is irregular in the preterite because the vowel E changes to I in some forms. 🔹 Conjugation (pretérito indefinido) yo → pedí tú → pediste he / she / you (formal) → pidió we → pedimos you all → pedisteis they / you all (formal) → pidieron 👉 The E → I change happens only in: 3rd person singular (pidió) 3rd person plural (pidieron) 🔹 Real examples Yesterday I asked for help. → Ayer pedí ayuda. What did you order? → ¿Qué pediste? She ordered a coffee. → Pidió un café. We asked for the bill. → Pedimos la cuenta. They asked for explanations. → Pidieron explicaciones. 🎯 Key takeaway Not all irregular verbs are irregular in every form. Pedir changes partially, not completely.
Ayer ella ___ una cerveza en el bar.

🕰️ El pretérito imperfecto en español We use the pretérito imperfecto to talk about how things were in the past, not about what happened. It describes: habits customs background situations what was going on 👉 It is like the present tense, but in the past. 🔹 When do we use it? We use the imperfect when we talk about: 1️⃣ Habits in the past Cuando era niño, jugaba en la calle. Los domingos íbamos al parque. 2️⃣ How things were La casa era grande. El barrio era tranquilo. 3️⃣ What was happening Ayer a las ocho estudiaba. Mientras ella cocinaba, yo leía. 🔹 Compare Imperfecto → how things were Pretérito indefinido → what happened De niño vivía en Madrid. (background) Un día me mudé a Valencia. (event) ⚠️ Common mistake ❌ Cuando era niño jugué en la calle todos los días. ✅ Cuando era niño jugaba en la calle todos los días. 🎯 Key idea Use imperfecto for: how things were, not what happened
Cuando era niño, ___ al parque todos los días.
fui
iba
he ido
