Correct conjugations of verbs in this sentence?

Question

Algunos días dormía mucho y otros días me desperté temprano y caminé los perros

English: Some days I slept a lot and other days I woke up early and walked the dogs

Answer 1

If this is something that you did over a period of time, I would recommend the imperfect of both verbs, i.e.,

Algunos días dormía mucho y otros días me despertaba temprano y paseaba a los perros.

In English this would also work out to:

Some days I would (or used to) sleep a lot, and other days I would (or used to) walk the dogs.

(Atten: English learners. "Would" can also be used to translate the tiempo imperfecto. No es solamente para el condicional).

Worth to mention that "would" can only be used with action verbs when it comes to speaking about repeated actions in the past. - Oshnaj, Sep 20, 2016

Answer 2

This is my take , but I am only intermediate and we both need a Spanish native speaker

one will mosey along soon I am sure .

Hay días en que dormían mucho y otros días me desperté temprano y caminaron los perros.

Some days I slept a lot and other days I woke up early and walked the dogs.

You need the "yo" for for all three verbs. You have the first and third verbs in the thrid person plural. ¡Ay, ay ay! - Daniela2041, Sep 20, 2016

I missed a word. You need the "yo' F O R M. - Daniela2041, Sep 20, 2016

Answer 3

If you meant to say particular completed actions in the past, use the indefinite form for dormir, which is dormí.

To end, walk the dog = pasear al perro. It's not idiomatic to say caminé los perros.
