Hey guys, I am in Spanish 10 right now sooo yeah… I need help with deciding between Imperfect or Preterite verbs.
-
Cuando el desfile empezo, todos los ninos (esperaron/esperaban) al lado de las calles.
----- I picked esperaron because it is saying when the parade started, which only occurred once and not multiple times. I think ESPERARON is right but I just need some reassurance -
Nosotros (teniamos/tuvimos) cinco anos cuando (fuimos/ibamos) a la escuela por primera vez.
----- For this one I chose teniamos because kids turn 6 ALL the time I chose fuimos because they only start school once. I am not sure at all on this one, any ideas? -
El escritorio que mi mama tenia de joven (fue/era) antiguo.
----- I chose era on this one, because… well it just sounds right lol. I have no idea which to choose on this one, help? -
Todos mis parientes (bailaron/bailaban) cuando llegamos a la fiesta.
----- I chose bailaban for this one because it says Todos, but I am also not entirely sure since it doesn’t specify if the fiestas occur all the time or not. -
Mi pariente favorito de nino (fue/era) mi Abuela Susana.
----- Also not sure which to choose for this one -
Cuando (termino/terminaba) la clase, (habia/hay) muchos estudiantes emocionados
----- Lost on this one as well
Someone help please :(( thanks!!
