said by JALevinworth : I'm sorry to say, a lot. Stealing your car's documents is big business, and why many say they should no longer be kept in an unattended car or at least not in an unlocked glove box (or elsewhere not obvious). Your registration and insurance has your driver's license number on it. Fake driver's licenses are big business as it's used as a primary document for identification, as well as for other means to identify people (government forms, such as SS#, opening a bank account, etc.).
There are various differences between the uses of the preterit and the uses of the imperfect tenses and all uses are in the past. 1. When to use the Preterit Tense- The preterit tense is commonly used to express: 1  An action that starts and ends in the past. 2  Actions that occur only one time.  Conclusions.
I'm certainly no master at the preterite and imperfect, I still struggle sometimes to find out which to use... But heres my take at it: When you want to make a sentence which doesnt include any sort of context (ayer, la semana pasada, todo el tiempo..), think of a timeline.
