The preterite and imperfect are past tenses in Spanish. Preterite is a definite past tense, representing a situation that had a definite start, duration, and end; finished, completed actions. The imperfect tense is more of an indefinite time period in the past, regarding indefinite time periods, descriptions, and continuous actions in the past.
Preterite:
Vi la película anoche. = I saw the movie last night.
Me gustó la película mucho. = I liked it a lot.
Imperfect:
Juagaba videojuegos de niño. = I used to play video games as a child.
Eran las dos de la tarde. = It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
As a spanish speaker, I believe it is
a. Es buena idea que hagas una reservación.

Answer:</h2>
In the following paragraph we are able to see the usage of the Simple Conditional (indicative mode).
This verbal tense is mainly used in <u>Spanish grammar</u> to express hypothetical actions or situations, as well as wishes or polite questions.
<h2>That is, it is generally used to express an intention in an attenuated form.
</h2>
In addition, it is used in cases where you want to give advice and suggestions in a <u>polite way</u> or <u>soften requests</u>, to express doubt or probability in the distant past and to express a future from a past point of view.
This mode is the equivalent to the usage of would in english grammar.
Now, in this case Gustavo is asking Cristina in a polite way his wish to travel with her to Ecuador, making a list of the activities they would do (hypothetical situations) if they go there:
Hola, Cristina: Me (1) (<u>gustaría</u>/ I would like) que fuéramos juntos de vacaciones a Ecuador. Tú (2) (podrías/you could) pasear por los rápidos que tanto te gustan y también nosotros (3) (iríamos/we would go) a conocer la tarabita (rough cable car). Por las noches, (4) (saldríamos/we would go out) a contemplar la luna y las estrellas. Dicen que es un lugar muy hermoso para apreciar la naturaleza. No te preocupes por la comida, porque sé que allí los restaurantes son excelentes, así que (so) (5) (cenaríamos/we would dine) en buenísimos restaurantes. Yo te (6) (invitaría/I would invite you) a todo lo que quisieras. Pero, por favor, di que sí vas conmigo. Gustavo
