Is it better to use "El Pretérito Imperfecto" or the imperfect continuous here?1Vosotros ________ las bebidas mientras nosotros comíamos.You were buying the drinks while we ate.(HINT: Conjugate "comprar" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)comprabaiscompraréishabéis compradocomprar

Would it not be better to translate this as "Estabais comprando las bebidas mientras comíamos." ?

"Susana nos habia pedido..."?

Shouldn't "Susana nos habia pedido..." translates not as "Susana has asked us...", but rather "Susana had asked us..."?

Question about example sentence

Hi!

So in "Si empiezas el trabajo mañana, te tocaría archivar los expedientes a primera hora", here tocaría is a conditional, so would the correct translation not be "you would have to file" Instead of "you will have to file"? Like this: "If you start work tomorrow, you would have to file the dossiers first thing."

Thank you and have a good weekend!

Poco/a vs. un/una poco/a

Hi, my understanding was that "un poco" was always used when poco was used as a pronoun, instead of as an adjective or adverb along with the explicit noun?

Ex: Quieres arroz? Si, un poco (de arroz).

Ex: Solo quiero poco arroz.

Ex: Necisito estudiar poco.

Is this not correct?

Thanks!!

*(BTW, this website is so incredibly helpful.
