Create a mini-story in the past using both Pretérito and Imperfecto conjugations. Please, DO NOT use an online translator! Just keep it simple and write a very basic description of something in the past...it could be about what you did this morning or last night. Pretérito will be used to describe completed actions (what you or others did), and Imperfecto will be used to give descriptions (what time was it, how did you feel, what was going on, etc). You need to have at least 10 different verbs in your story and try to balance them out between the 2 conjugations.

Anoche, mis abuelos vinieron a la casa de mi familia para cenar conmigo y mis padres. Mi madre nos preparó una sopa muy rica y un bistec delicioso. Comíamos y hablábamos muchísimo. Mientras mi madre y mi abuela cotilleaban sobre la última moda y celebridades atractivas, mi padre y mi abuelo discutían golf y béisbol. Me sentaba en silencio. A pesar de esto, todavía tuve una buena noche. Pronto, era la hora de despedirnos. Enseguida después de que mis abuelos se fueron, me acosté.

Last night, my grandparents came to my family´s house to have dinner with my parents and I. My mother prepared a very tasty soup and a delicious steak for us. We were eating and talking a lot. While my mother and grandmother were gossiping about the latest fashion and attractive celebrities, my father and grandfather were discussing golf and baseball. I was sitting in silence.
