Hello,
Can you please explain why in this exercise it is only correct to use preterito imperfecto in the third sentence: Teníamos que conseguir muchos puntos para acceder al tesoro escondido - even though the story starts in the indefinido tense. A few sentences later it jumps again to indefinido: Este juego nos ayudó a ser pacientes - while the rest of the sentences are in the imperfecto tense.
Thank you :)
Hola Sander B.
We've just added hints to clarify the use of the imperfect tense and the preterite in the exercise. The sentence "Teníamos que conseguir muchos puntos para acceder al tesoro escondido" uses the imperfect tense because it describes an ongoing or background action. The shift to "indefinido" in "Este juego nos ayudó a ser pacientes" reflects a completed action in the past. The story uses different tenses to distinguish between ongoing actions and specific events.
Feliz semana
Silvia
