This One Spanish Verb Changes “Used To” Forever 🤯

Most Spanish learners translate “used to” the same way every time — and that’s a mistake. 😬
In this video, you’ll finally understand why Spanish has TWO ways to say “used to” and when native speakers choose solía + infinitive instead of the regular imperfect tense like hablaba.

We break down the verb soler in the past (imperfect), explain how it expresses habit, repetition, and custom, and show you exactly when you should and should NOT use it. Once you understand this difference, your Spanish will instantly sound more natural and fluent.

If you struggle with:
✔️ Past tense in Spanish
✔️ Imperfect vs “used to”
✔️ Solía vs hablaba
✔️ Sounding natural in Spanish
