Nós utilizamos o pretérito perfeito para descrever uma ação concluída no passado. Já o pretérito imperfeito é utilizado para descrever ações habituais, repetidas ou simultâneas no passado. Em geral, quando comparamos o passado com o presente, o tempo utilizado é o pretérito imperfeito.

· Quando eu era criança, gostavade jogar bola. Hoje em dia, não tenho tempo nem disposição para isso.

· Antes, chovia quase todos os dias. Agora quase não chove mais.

· Eu comi bolo de chocolate no final de semana.

· Já escrevi cinco livros. Estou escrevendo o sexto.
