Please help!! I need this in preterite tense!

Question

el domingo pasado fui al centro comercial a buscar un vestido. Encontré una muy bonita en blanco y negro. También busqué algunos suéteres para el invierno y algunas camisas de color de otoño. Había gente mant en el centro comercial. Encontré cuatro camisas color caídas y sin zapatos.

Answer 1

Congratulations. It is in the preterite tense (except for había).

And I don't know what " mant" is. - Daniela2041, Oct 12, 2017

I couldn't work that word out either, Dani I checked it against my Oxford Spanish dictionary and it didn't recognise the word lol It's encouraging to know that a native didn't recognize it as a real word lol :) - FELIZ77, Oct 12, 2017

Maybe she meant: Había mucha gente en el centro comercial = There were many people in the town centre. - FELIZ77, Oct 13, 2017

Answer 2

The other person already pointed out Habia but I have some grammatical fixes for you if you're interested. .."Para buscar por un vestido." And since dress is masculine, the words should be un muy bonito. "ropa de otono" means "fall clothing". Caida is the action of falling. The last sentence, you said "I found 4 fall shirts and without shoes" is that what you meant to say? Anyway, great job, and keep up the Spanish learnin!
