• or maybe imperfect? yo estaba instead of estuve? - schub Aug 31, 2009
• what is the difference between estuve and estaba? - mmfhlax18 Aug 31, 2009
• estuve is preterit and needs a start/end. estaba is imperfect and has no specific start/end. Your 'feliz' or 'contento/a' probably had no definite start/end, so I think estaba is more correct? - schub Aug 31, 2009
