<p>The ap graders won't be so picky on using either imperfect or preterite will they?</p>

<p>If you think they will be, any easy tips to remember which one to use? I've looked on several websites and still don't get it.</p>

<p>Um…yes, they will. As an AP student you are expected to know when to use imperfect and when to use preterite.</p>

<p>Use this:
[Preterite</a> vs Imperfect](<a href=“http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/pretimp1.htm]Preterite”>Preterite vs Imperfect: Part I - StudySpanish.com)</p>

<p>It explains the basics very well.</p>

<p>It is easy to differentiate between imperfect and preterite based on context, but sometimes it can be hard remembering which one to use when speaking. Just remember the words that are usually associated with each.</p>
