Eran las once de la noche cuando empezó el incendio. Después del terremoto había mucha gente en la calle porque las personas tenían miedo. Después del terremoto ocurrió una explosión muy grande en el edificio de apartamentos. Primero los paramédicos ayudaron a los heridos y después los llevaron al hospital. El reportero nos contaba del terremoto cuando de repente se sintió otro terremoto más fuerte. El joven héroe era muy valiente mientras rescataba el gato del árbol. Al ver el incendio, la señora gritó "¡Socorro!" desde la ventana de su apartamento.

Explanation:

In Spanish, we use the Imperfect tense to describe someone's mood, temper, and feelings, that is, to describe situations from the past, while we use the Preterite to describe events that began and ended in the past or events which were interrupted by another action.

Therefore, we could say that the Imperfect is used to describe actions from the past, while the preterite is used to talk about the past, without describing, that is, to enumerate a single action or various action which started and ended in the past.

1. Mi tía es __________. Vive en Guadalajara. 2. Mi primo no es rubio, es __________. 3. Mi novio cree que la clase no es fácil;

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The words that could fill the blanks in each case are:

Mi tía es mexicana. Vive en Guadalajara.
Mi primo no es rubio, es blanco.
Mi novio cree que la clase no es fácil; es difícil.
Los libros son interesantes; me gustan mucho.
Mis hermanos son tímidos; no tienen muchos amigos.
Las gemelas tienen quince años. Son quinceañeras.

Explanation:

The translation of the sentences is:

My aunt is Mexican. Lives in Guadalajara.
My cousin is not blond, he is white.
My boyfriend thinks class is not easy; it's hard.
The books are interesting; I like them very much.
My brothers are shy; they do not have many friends.
The twins are fifteen years old. They are quinceañeras.

Since there are no options to choose the most appropriate word, I have selected for you those that I consider best apply to the context of the sentence, as I explain below:

"Mexicana" is chosen because it is mentioned that he lives in a state of that country.
"Blanco" is chosen since it could be another option, in addition to brown or perhaps Caucasian.
"Difícil" is the opposite of easy.
Regularly when a book likes it very much, it is very "interesante."
Shy people regularly have few friends.
In many Latin American countries, girls who turn 15 are called "quinceañeras."
