Welcome to our video on Brazilian Portuguese Grammar, where we'll be exploring the use of the imperfect past tense to compare things one used to do in the past that one doesn't do anymore.
Have you ever wondered how to express the idea of a past habit or action that you used to do but no longer do? That's where the imperfect past tense comes in handy. By using this tense, you can express that you used to do something in the past but have stopped doing it now.
For example, let's say you used to go running every morning but now you don't have time. In Portuguese, you can express that idea by saying "Eu corria todas as manhãs, mas agora não tenho tempo." This translates to "I used to run every morning, but now I don't have time."
