When to use Imperfect and preterite

Question

I have made up some sentences to try to understand the general idea of how to use each verb in an imperfect and past tense form. Please tell me if this is correct. Thanks

Imperfect: Siempre trabajaba cada fin de semana. De niño, yo jugaba baloncesto. Muchas veces a la semana, mi novio y yo cocinábamos cena juntos.

Preterite: Trabajé el fin de semana pasado. Ayer yo jugamos balcesto con mi amigas. Anoche mi amigo cocinó la comida para mí

"Ayer yo jugue (with accent on e)" Or you could say "Ayer yo y mis amigas jugamos" - BigMike, Feb 27, 2013

Looks good! Some cases are a little harder to tell, but it seems you have the idea.
