Learn Spanish 2.10 imperfect v preterit written assessment
Would someone let me know if this is OK as the ´submit response´ thing seems to now go into cyberspace never to be seen again!
TASK - Change each sentence so that the first verb is in the imperfect tense and the second verb is in the preterit tense to convey an interruption. 1. (Yo) (estar) durmiendo cuando el volcán (entrar) en erupción. 2. Mi madre y mi padre (apagar) el incendio cuando el bombero (llegar)
Estaba durmiendo cuando el volcán entró en erupción.
Mi madre y mi papa apagaban el incendio cuando el bombero llegó.

Thank you! I admit I thougt it should have been 'los bomberos' but it said there was just the one fireman (must have been busy that night, they could only spare the one man eh') so that's what I worked with.
I am just grateful for the feedback as I really liked the 'old way', I just didn't want to be going down the wrong track and not know it!

As you recall'! I'm sure that I looked at scores of lesson submissions on that topic and, since you reviewed about five times as many as I, that should mean hundreds of times for you. My only doubt would be; wasn't it "los bomberos llegaron"? (that would seem more likely).
You know what they say. The mind is the 1st thing to go and the 2nd is...
I went back and checked. It is el bombero llegó. (to be honest the same thing occured to me. That is why I threw in the ""as I recall".)
...Now, wait for that 2nd thing to go as apparently the mind already has.

As I recall those are correct. I don't know why they choose not to accept the suggestion to post the lesson answers somewhere.
