In this exercise, we'll use three tenses, so let's define them:
- Preterite tense forms. The preterite tense is one of two simple past tenses. It is used to describe actions that took place or were completed at a certain point in the past.
- Imperfect tense forms. The imperfect is used to talk about past actions, conditions, or events that occurred regularly or frequently or that were in progress in a moment in the past.
- The simple present. The simple present tense is used to talk about habitual actions or routines. This tense is also used to describe things that happens now or in the near future.
So the answers are as follows:
<h3>
(1) Fuimos </h3>
From the first Table bellow, you can see that the conjugation of the <em>irregular </em>verb ir, in the preterite tense, that matches the first person plural is fuimos.
<h3>
(2) Fue </h3>
In this case, fue is the conjugation of the verb ir for the third person singular in the preterite tense as indicated in the first Table bellow.
<h3>
(3) Fue </h3>
It is also used the same conjugation as in the item (2)
<h3>
(4) Fuimos </h3>
As <em>Clara y yo </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun <em>ellas </em>(third person plural), the matching conjugation of the verb ir is also fuimos.
<h3>
(5) Fuimos </h3>
Here the sentence continues to talk about <em>Clara y yo.</em>
<h3>
(6) Fue </h3>
Talking about the food matches the third person singular, so here the conjugation of the verb ir in the preterite form is also fue.
<h3>
(7) Fuimos</h3>
Here the sentence stands for <em>nosotras, </em>that is, the first person plural. So the matching conjugation of the verb ir in the preterite form is also fuimos
<h3>(8) Fuimos</h3>
Here the sentence stands for <em>nosotras, </em>so we need to use fuimos as well
<h3>(9) Fuimos</h3>
<em>El jueves </em>stands for the third person singular. So the matching conjugation of the verb ir in the preterite form is also fuimos
<h3>(10) Fuimos</h3>
Here the sentence also stands for <em>nosotras, </em>so we need to use fuimos as well
<h3>(11) Fue</h3>
<em>El viaje </em>stands for the third-person singular, so the matching conjugation of the verb ir in the preterite form is also fue
<h3>(12) Fui</h3>

<h3>(13) era</h3>
In this case, era is the conjugation of the verb ser for the third person singular in the preterite tense as indicated in the second Table bellow.
<h3>
(14) Fuimos </h3>
Here the sentence is talking about <em>Clara y yo </em>again, so the conjugation of the verb ir in the preterite tense is fuimos again
<h3>(15) Fuimos</h3>
Here the sentence stands for <em>nosotras </em>again<em>, </em>so we need to use fuimos as well

Primero, clara y yo </em><em>fuimos</em><em> a lima y </em><em>fuimos</em><em> a comer a un restaurante de comida peruana. La comida </em><em>fue </em><em>muy buena. Luego </em><em>fuimos</em><em> al hotel y nos </em><em>fuimos</em><em> a dormir. El jueves </em><em>fue</em><em> un día nublado.
