LIEbrals do you really not want to drill for oil anymore when so many products are made from it?
Hi, I understand. It can be a problem. A quick way is to think about how you would record the past. Either video or snapshot. The imperfect is an ongoing past like a video. I used to ride my bike everyday. We always sang when we cleaned the house. The preterite is a completed past action like a shapshot. I fell off of my bike and broke my leg. He kicked the ball. Think about these: I was talking on the phone(video) when my mother got home. (snapshot) I was doing my homework(video) in the kitchen while my mother cooked dinner.(video) I ran the 100 in just under 6 seconds. (snapshot) The door slammed shut. (snapshot) I hope this helps you to sort it out. Cherry
Anything that is made of plastic, that can be cut with an Exato knife ( or a hot wood burning stencil cutter ) will work.Even your stencils cut out of folders will work better if you shellac the stencil first. This prevents the paint penetrating the stencil. If you are stenciling on glass, such as in glass etching with glass etch cream, ordinary contact paper will work. If you are making stencils that you want to keep and reuse, Mylar plastic is the best. Cutting a stencil is a lot of work. You should use a material that will allow you use it repeatably.
Basically imperfect is ongoing and preterite is completed though there are exceptions and other rules, of course. Give the site a try, I'm sure it'll help you out!
