Sooner or later you’ll have to grapple with it…
It is very common for language learners to struggle with discerning between the Portuguese Perfect and Imperfect tenses, aka Pretérito Perfeito and Pretérito Imperfeito.
Typically, students confront this challenge when they are introduced to the Past tense around the transition between A1 and A2 beginner levels. If you are at that stage, this course is right for you.
See, everyone wants to be able to talk about what they did, say, during the weekend, or where they were living five years ago. Put another way, everyone wants to have a good grasp of the Past tense in order to engage in more casual and meaningful interactions.
