What do you already know about how education has changed over time?
Introduction to Education in the Past
Education was more formal and strict. Classes were teacher-centered, and technology was minimal.
Education Today
Education is more interactive and technology-driven. Student-centered learning is common.
Understanding 'Imperfecto'
'Imperfecto' describes ongoing or habitual past actions, such as 'Estudiaba' (I used to study).
The 'Presente' Tense
'Presente' describes current actions, like 'Estudio' (I study).
Comparing Tenses: Imperfecto vs. Presente
Use 'Imperfecto' for past habits; 'Presente' for current actions. Example: 'Estudiaba' vs. 'Estudio'.
