Where can I learn more about when to use Había and when to use Hubo?I know había is imperfecto and hubo is pretérito, but in this context it seems not always applicable. Is there a clear distinction?

What about the ¨-yendo¨ ending? Am I wrong, when I was studying Spanish in high school, I clearly remember there being -yendo so there are not so many vowels next to each other. Caer -- Cayendo / Creer -- Creyendo / Leer -- Leyendo and so on and so forth. Is that not correct?
