If I am describing my most recent assignment, would I use the past or imperfect tense. For example, would I say, "Mi reciente tarea fue...." Or "Mi reciente tarea era..."

Use the imperfect for a continuous action in the past (whether or not completed) and for mental, emotional or physical condition in the past.
