Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'estudié' and 'estudiaba'?

'Estudié' is for a specific, finished moment (like 'I studied yesterday'), while 'estudiaba' is for things you used to do over a long period or background actions (like 'I was studying when the phone rang').

Is the accent mark on 'estudié' mandatory?

Yes! In Spanish, the accent mark on the last syllable of past tense verbs is crucial because it tells the listener that you are talking about the past and about yourself.
