Here we are talking about a physical description of a person. Both the word era and fue are conjugations of the verb ser. We choose era rather than fue because era stands for the imperfect and we want to say that in the past Pedro was tall and handsome, that is, being tall and handsome are both conditions that were in progress in a moment in the past. Finally:

Pedro era alto y guapo

When telling the time in the past, we use era to refer one o'clock and eran to refer all other hours. These words comes from the verb ser and stands for the imperfect tense. On the other hand, fue is not used when telling the time even though this is a conjugation in the past (preterite). Finally, we can write:

Era la una de la tarde

The question says who is the person who walks and crosses the street? so the answer is el peatón that translates into pedestrian and is someone who walks in town or city. The other options are la señal that means the signal and el conductor that means the driver. Finally:

- ¿Quién es la persona que anda y cruza la calle?

- El peatón

The sentence says I drive the car in ___ so it's obvious that the answer is la carretera for this translates into the road that is a way leading cars and vehicles from one place to another. The other options are la bocina that means the horn, and la multa that means penalty fee. Finally:

Yo manejo el carro en la carretera

Both the word escribía and escribió comes from the verb escribir. The first word stands for the imperfect and the second one stands for the preterite. We choose escribía because the sentence tells us that Marta was doing something when she was interrupted. So the imperfect is also used to talk about what someone was doing when he or she was interrupted by something else. This interruption was carried out by Justo that entered the house. Finally:

Marta escribía una carta cuando Justo entró.

Both the word miró and miraba comes from the verb mirar. In this way, the first word stands for the preterite and the second one stands for the imperfect. As in the previous exercise, we choose miraba because the sentence tells us that my mom was doing something when she was interrupted by my father. Finally:

Mi madre miraba la tele cuando mi padre llamó.

Both the word llamó and llamaba comes from the verb llamar. In this way, the first word stands for the preterite and the second one stands for the imperfect. We choose because the action of this sentence took place a at certain moment in the past and this stands for the preterite tense. Finally:

Paloma llamó a Juan a las ocho de la noche

Cruce is a noun. A noun is a word or group of words like the name of a person, a place, a thing, or activity or a quality or idea. Cruce is a masculine singular noun, so the matching definite article is el as indicated in the sentence. So el cruce means the crossing. Finally:

Las calles cruzan en el cruce de calles

Peatones is the plural form of the noun peatón and translates into pedestrians. On the other hand, paso de peatones translates into crosswalk. Another important thing is that the word cruza is the conjugation of the verb cruzar for the third person singular in the simple present. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:

Suzana cruza la calle en el paso de peatones

When facing a sentence that includes the group of words used to live, we can realize that this is an imperfect sentence. So the verb to live translates into vivir and the conjugation of this verb for the first person plural (nosotros) in the imperfect is vivíamos. Finally, we can write this as follows:

Nosotros vivíamos en Puerto Rico

As explained in the previous sentence, this sentence stands for the imperfect too. So the verb to write translates into escribir and the conjugation of this verb that matches the third person plural (ellos) in the imperfect is escribían. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:

Ellos escribían las cartas

Since this sentence tells us that the action was completed at a certain moment in the past, we must use the preterite tense here. This sentence stands for the first person plural (nosotros), hence the conjugation of the verb ir that matches nosotros in the preterite tense is fuimos. Finally:

Nosotros fuimos a la playa con Ana ayer

Since this sentence talks about an action that occurred regularly in the past, that is, they did wash their car every Friday, then we must use the imperfect tense, hence the conjugation of the verb lavar that matches the third person plural in the imperfect is lavaban. Finally:

Todos los viernes ellos lavaban el carro
