Abstract
In this study the use of the imperfect tense is analyzed in the compositions of a group of college students, before and after a Spanish course received in an immersion setting. Although the number of errors of the imperfect diminishes in the categories observed, it was shown that, despite the instruction received and the natural exposure to input, several types of errors are still present in the narratives. Errors in the use of imperfect related to the concepts of duration and judgment are particularly persistent.
