Sylvia,
in addition to the lessons that Jim’s response links you to, you may find the external link below useful.
It is a very practical discussion of the uses of imparfait and passé composé, especially in narratives - one of the best I have come across. Be sure to watch the simple video clips as well - they are also helpful.
