Lis's grandparents and great-grandparents grew up in small villages in the Colombian countryside. They got up before dawn, worked in the fields from childhood, celebrated at harvest time, and ate what they grew, plus the sweets her grandmother made with panela. Rob uses their story to share a shortcut he still relies on: time phrases like todos los días that usually call for the imperfect. You'll also see why los fines de semana and el fin de semana pasado point to different tenses.
