O PRETÉRITO IMPERFEITO É UM PASSADO DISTANTE,
NORMALMENTE FALADO PARA DIZER ALGO QUE SE FAZIA HÁ MUITO TEMPO ATRÁS E NÃO SE
FAZ MAIS.
NO INGLÊS, USAMOS “USED TO” PARA ESSE TEMPO
PASSADO.
EX: I USED TO PLAY IN THAT PARK WHEN I WAS A CHILD.
(EU BRINCAVA NAQUELE PARQUE QUANDO EU ERA CRIANÇA.)
NA NEGATIVA, USAMOS O “DID”.
I DID NOT USE TO PLAY IN THAT PARK WHEN I WAS A
CHILD.
(EU NÃO BRINCAVA NAQUELE PARQUE QUANDO EU ERA
CRIANÇA.)
