Hello Cameroni,
You need to look at/revisit some of your answers again! You will need to seriously think about and perhaps even revise your teacher's notes or Spanishdict resources which talk about when to use the imperfect vs the preterite indicative! ![]()
2.that (clue: It) finished at 12pm (midnight)
3.Clue: He only entered once!
4.Clue: Think!: How often did the architect construct the building: often / or only one occasion? Which tense should you therefore use?
1.Los estudiantes tuvieron ___ ______ ? You are missing two words here You need to look up./check up.how to say: to have to do something in Spanish!
The students had to do what?
2.participastéis (vosotros, plural form) is only the correct conjugation if you are talking to a group of two or more people in Spain, otherwise you need the familiar tú form!
3.llamaba? Is this correct? Estaba cortar is not correct so check out /revise how to form the progressive past tense using the verb estar! ![]()
12 Check your verb endings! ;!
13.Follow Polenta's clue! ![]()
Well done for making an effort to do your homework before posting it! ![]()
I hope this helps ![]()
2 terminé is wrong. Check it.
3 Check entraba
4 Check construía
Why not mi amigo y yo fuimos a una fiesta.
1 had to read is not only tuvieron
2 Participasteis is excellent but only in Spain and it's you plural. Is that what you meant?
3 Check llamaba and also estaba cortar
11 Check me encantaba
12 Check it.
13 Are you sure it's fui because it's nosotros, isn't it?
Good luck
