Episode description

The simple past tense has several additional names: the Präteritum (preterite) or the Imperfekt(imperfect). Use whichever name works best for you. Here, we'll use the Präteritum.

This is a form of the past tense that is used somewhat in spoken German, somewhat in news articles, and frequently in literature. There won't be a lot of this for you to learn until you reach a high-intermediate level and start reading German literature.
