maestrokenny :

Okay, I am sorry if the numbers do not match up exactly.

maestrokenny :

I will go over it again right now on my end.

maestrokenny :

I have gone over the answers.

maestrokenny :

Do you have any questions?

Customer :

thank you but #3 Mientras yo ______ (escuchar) la musica, Jose hablo con su novia por telefono. Are you able to help more or would someone else be able to answer more questions

maestrokenny :

escuchaba

maestrokenny :

and hablo will have an accent on the o.

Customer :

I also have to fill in the blanks with the correct conjugation of the verb in Spanish. You must choose either preterit or imperfect.

maestrokenny :

Thank you for answering me.

Customer :

1. Que ___________ (did you do) tuayer? -Ayer yo_______________________(went) a la tienda.

maestrokenny :

hiciste, fui

maestrokenny :

That is preterite. finished actions within a certain time frame in the past.

Customer :

Thank you! 2. Un dia, nosotros ________________ (ate) en el restaurante. 3. Cuando era nino, Miguel ______________ (sang) en la iglesia.

maestrokenny :

comimos, cantaba

maestrokenny :

We ate is finished action. The second answer is imperfect because this is a general sentence about ongoing action in the past.

maestrokenny :

and finished action is preterite

Customer :

4. Ellos ___________ (lived) en Mexico. 5. Ellos ____________ (lived) en Mexico por tres anos. Thank you for your help

maestrokenny :

vivian (2nd i is accented). vivieron

Customer :

Are these both preterit

maestrokenny :

the first one is imperfect... It is saying something general, like the used to live in mexico.

maestrokenny :

The second one has a definite time frame element. That is clearly preterite.

maestrokenny :

Preterite is for actions in the past that are finished. I ate, We saw, we ran. etc.

maestrokenny :

Imperfect is ongoing action in the past.

maestrokenny :

Like when you are telling a story in the past, the setting is imperfect... Examples: it was a dark night.

maestrokenny :

But the actions within a past story are preterite.

Customer :

6. Anoche ellos __________( had to ) que hacer la tarea. 7. Yo ____________ (went) a la tienda el sabado. Thanks

maestrokenny :

Someone knocked in the dark night.

maestrokenny :

That would be preterite.

maestrokenny :

I hope that helps.

maestrokenny :

Tuvieron, fui

maestrokenny :

Both preterite.

maestrokenny :

First one has a specific time frame.

maestrokenny :

The second one is also preterite.

maestrokenny :

I went is preterite.

maestrokenny :

"I was going" would be imperfect. But your question says I went. That is preterite.

Customer :

8. Cuando ella vivis con su madre, ella _______________ (slept) en una cama grande.

maestrokenny :

in this sentence the verb is incorrect.

maestrokenny :

it should say: vivia with the 2nd i accented.

maestrokenny :

but the answer is

maestrokenny :

dormia

maestrokenny :

with the i accented.

maestrokenny :

This is like saying she used to sleep in a large bed.

maestrokenny :

The time period is indefinite. Therefore it is imperfect.

maestrokenny :

You must have hit the wrong key in vivia, since the "s" is by the "a".

Customer :

8. Cuando ella vivia con su madre, ella _________ (slept) en una cama grande
