Question

select the correct answer.
which verb form best completes this sentence.
el mes pasado, yo ______ los lunes, miércoles y viernes.
a. trabajé
b. trabajamos
c. trabajábamos
d. trabajaba

Explanation:

1. Analyze the subject and tense: The subject is "yo" (I), and the time indicator "el mes pasado" (last month) combined with the repeated action on specific days (lunes, miércoles, viernes) suggests the imperfect tense in Spanish, which is used for habitual actions in the past.
2. Analyze each option:

• Option A: "trabajé" is the preterite (simple past) form for "yo", used for completed actions, not habitual ones.
• Option B: "trabajamos" is the preterite or present tense for "nosotros" (we), does not match the subject "yo".
• Option C: "trabajábamos" is the imperfect tense for "nosotros" (we), does not match the subject "yo".
• Option D: "trabajaba" is the imperfect tense for "yo", correctly indicating a habitual action in the past.

Answer:

D. trabajaba
