Examples
A él no le importó el resultado del partido.
The result of the game didn't matter to him.
Tu opinión me importó mucho en aquel momento.
Your opinion mattered a lot to me at that time.
Using the Past Tense
This specific form 'importó' is used when talking about one specific moment in the past where something was important or significant.
The 'To Me' Structure
Like the verb 'gustar,' this verb usually needs a small word like 'me,' 'te,' or 'le' to show WHO it mattered to (e.g., 'Le importó' = It mattered to him/her).
Don't forget the accent!
Mistake: “Using 'importo' instead of 'importó'.”
Correction: Use 'importó' (with the accent) for 'it mattered' in the past. 'Importo' (without the accent) means 'I import' in the present.
