<h3>Translation</h3>Last week, Manolo and Aurora wanted to throw a party. They decided to invite six friends and serve them a lot of food. Manolo and Aurora were preparing food when Elena called. As always, she had to study for an exam. At six, the phone rang again. Their friend Francisco also couldn't go to the party, because he had a fever. Manolo and Aurora felt very sad, but they had to prepare the food.
Explanation: whether the action happened only once, and it is considered finished, we use the preterite tense. Whether we are providing background information, we use the imperfect, because the imperfect sets the scene for a series of actions.
