<span>Which sentence has an accurate use of the preterit tense?
1.Yo fui a una playa hermosa.
2.La playa de mi viaje fue hermosa.
Yo fui a una playa hermosa </span>
<h2>Correct answer:</h2><h3>a. era; era</h3>
Era is the conjugation of the verb ser for the third person singular in the imperfect tense. This tense 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 first part of the sentence <em>cuando yo </em><em>era</em><em> niño </em>uses the verb ser as <em>condition </em>because it expresses something that varies over several years. On the other hand, the second part of the sentence <em>mi casa </em><em>era </em><em>azul </em>uses the verb ser as <em>description </em>because it talks about the essential quality that describes a house such as its color. Finally:
<em>Cuando yo </em><em>era</em><em> niño, mi casa </em><em>era</em><em> azul.</em>
