Question : Explain (in English) how to show reciprocal actions in Spanish.

Answer : In Spanish, reciprocal actions are shown using the plural forms ("nosotros", "vosotros", and "ellos") of reciprocal verbs, which are a type of reflexive verbs used to talk about actions that people do to each other, by adding reciprocal pronouns, which are always plural, ("nos", "os", and "se"), to indicate who is performing the reciprocal action.

Question : Explain the difference (in English) between the preterite and the imperfect.

Answer : The preterite and the imperfect tenses are used in Spanish to express actions that happened in the past. The difference is that the preterite tense is about actions that are fully completed and were done once at a specific time, but the imperfect past tense is used to express actions that were habitual in the past and did not have a specific ending.

Question : Write an original example of a reciprocal action in a sentence in Spanish.

Answer : Nosotros nos escribíamos todas las semanas.
