question 8
which translation is correct for the context?
you always walked to the store.
a tú siempre caminaste a la tienda.
b tú siempre caminabas a la tienda.

Explanation:

1. The word "siempre" (always) is often used with the imperfect tense in Spanish to describe habitual or repeated actions in the past. So for Question 6, the imperfect tense is appropriate.
2. For "Yesterday I ate dinner with my friends", the preterite tense is used for a completed action in the past. "Ayer, yo cené con mis amigos" is the correct translation as "cené" is the preterite form of "cener" (to have dinner).
3. For "You always walked to the store", since it's a habitual past - action, the imperfect tense is used. "Tú siempre caminabas a la tienda" is correct as "caminabas" is the imperfect form of "caminar" (to walk).

Answer:

Question 6: b. imperfect
Question 7: a. Ayer, yo cené con mis amigos.
Question 8: b. Tú siempre caminabas a la tienda.
