You've done well with what you know.
Search our forums, using keywords like preterit(e) and imperfect, or past tense, and you'll soon discover that we all struggle with those tenses. But I think it'll be much clearer once you let what you read sink in.
The bilingual books sound like they might be a good learning tool.
Remember, there won't always be a one-to-one relationship, as far as words are concerned. We use language to express an idea. Spanish has a set of words to use and English has another. The two may not be the same in every instance.
This becomes very important to remember when the little words (especially the prepositions and pronouns) don't seem to make any sense.
