There are a number of things that need work on those sentences. Perhaps you can take a good look at the whole thing, and write a reply with your new effort until it's all fixed? - Gekkosan, MAY 11, 2010

For how long did she go on yelling? One quick scream and it's "gritó", if it goes on you might need "gritaba durante varios(as) minutos/horas/dias".

Preterite, because it did not happen over time. It was a distinct occurrence in the past.
