Question

7 - El diario de LauraFill in the blanks Activity InstructionsLaura has just found a page from her old diary. Rewrite the sentences in the past tense, using the preterite and imperfect forms of the verbs as appropriate. Follow the model.

Answer 1

Answer:

• comprar - compró - compraba
• sentir - sintió - sentía
• comer - comió - comía

Explanation:

The preterite and the imperfect are the two past tenses that are used in Spanish. The imperfect is used to describe habitual actions. The preterite is used to talk about actions that interrupted something that was already going on. An example of a diary entry using the imperfect and preterite would be:

Hacía buen tiempo con mucho sol y no había una sola nube en el cielo. Nosotros decidimos salir a pasear con el nuevo perro de Lucía. Estábamos caminando cuando, de repente, apareció un venado en medio del sendero boscoso.
