The last. El ultimo. Ostatni post about it. My last try

Question

Hello

After reading the explanation that Daniela wrote (btw. big shoutout!), I want to know if I finally get it. Please, check out my last 2 examples referring to this topic.

Cuando estabamos en Madrid, no teníamos tiempo para ver el Museo del Prado

It's just seting the scene and describing a state that occured in the past

BUT

No tuvimos tiempo para ver el Museo del Prado cuando estuvimos en Madrid la ultima vez - because we have specifed time frames

Am I right?

¡Muchas gracias!

Answer 1

Both of these are correct but the first one IS more descriptive. The second one does seem to specify a rather short time frame and the action (or in this case non-action) is emphasized. ¡Buen trabajo!
