Please help with this assignment.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) J'allais - Je suis arrivé

2) Je suis allée - j'y ai rencontré

3) habitait - ont acheté

4) j'étais - je ferai*

5) étaient - j'ai décidé

*Your teacher made a mistake. The instruction of the exercise says to put the verbs in the imparfait or passé composé, two tenses which evoke the PAST. But at the beginning of Mamadou's second sentence he begins with "Mais plus tard", to be translated as "But hereafter" and the verb that comes after is therefore "je ferai" (futur simple what evokes FUTURE). Confusion often happens because in imparfait, "faire" gives "ferais" but it is not at all the same time or the same meaning :)
