Częste błędy

• Błąd: Using the preterite instead of the imperfect for ongoing or habitual past delays: 'El autobús demoró siempre'.

  Poprawnie: For habitual or ongoing past delays, use the imperfect: 'El autobús se demoraba siempre'.

  Dlaczego: The imperfect describes actions that were continuous or repeated in the past, without a specific end point, fitting for background descriptions or habits.

• Błąd: Confusing 'demoraba' (was delaying/used to delay) with 'demoró' (delayed - completed action).
