please help with crafting a sentence and then correcting another (urgent)* thanks

Question

hola mundo!

I had a quick question about these two sentences. We have to make a sentence in the imperfect using vivía, tenía, and estaba.

I can't think of anything to use with estaba. I mean, I know I can say yo era travieso, but I can't say yo estaba travieso. please help me think of a sentence using basic spanish vocab.

For tenia, I had have- Cuando era niño, yo tenía muchos amigos. Is that right? Grammatically speaking?

Lastly, I have vivía. Can I say, Cuando era niño, yo vivía en una casa larga. I think that is a bit shabby. But is it right, grammatically?

Answer 1

Cuando era niño, estaba muy contento de jugar con mis amigos.

thank you. but should i add an "a" between contento and jugar? - randomguy123, Sep 22, 2013

Ya lo hice la corrección, gracias. :-)> - Jubilado, Sep 22, 2013

Answer 2

large = grande (big)

Larga/largo = long

Estaba you use it with (placement/place)

I was here yesterday

The rest is correct.
