El imperfecto: paralelo al presente
Práctica 39A (§39)
- Traducción al inglés
- It was three in the afternoon and I and Tarzan were taking a walk. Every ten steps I had to stop, because Tarzan wanted to smell all the trees. He liked to explore and mark his territory. While I was walking, I was thinking of the peace that lived in the silence. The sky was gray and it was certainly going to rain later. Since it was Sunday, there were not many people in the streets. The city was quiet. I only saw a car passing by from time to time. I felt the breeze on my skin and listened to the music coming from a nearby restaurant. All seemed perfect. We were content, Tarzán and I. That was a good moment.
