Preterit of ir, ser, tener and estar

Self-Study Quiz: Activity 2. Planeando un viaje

After going to the supermarket, Malena runs into her friends. They are talking about their vacations during the past few summers because they would like to plan a trip soon.

Read the sentences and select the correct answer. Pay attention to the ending and the meaning of the verbs. Remember that "estar" is used when talking about location, and that "tener que + infinitive" = to have to + infinitive. Review the grammar in the video presentation and on pp. 216, 259 and 260 in Mosaicos, if necessary.
