which one is it presente o pretérito o imperfecto

The term "presente", "pretérito", and "imperfecto" refer to different tenses in Spanish grammar. Here’s a brief explanation of each:

  1. Presente (Present): This tense is used to describe actions that are currently happening or that are habitual. For example, "Yo sé" (I know).

  2. Pretérito (Preterite): This tense is used for actions that were completed in the past. For example, "Yo supe" (I knew, found out).

  3. Imperfecto (Imperfect): This tense is used for actions that were ongoing or not completed in the past. It often describes past habits, conditions, or actions that were interrupted. For example, "Yo sabía" (I knew, I used to know).

In the case of "supo", it is the preterite form of "saber", specifically in the third person singular (él/ella/usted). If you're looking for the conjugation in the imperfect tense, it would be "sabía".

So to clarify, "supo" is pretérito, not presente or imperfecto. If you need any further details, feel free to ask!
