If anyone could please help me with Spanish 2, that'd be great :). I'm not sure which of these has the correct version of "almorzar" used in the sentence. Horacio y Fernando almuerzan en la cafetería cuando Miguel se cayó al suelo. Horacio y Fernando almorzaron en la cafetería cuando Miguel se cayó al suelo. Horacio y Fernando almorzábamos en la cafetería cuando Miguel se cayó al suelo. Horacio y Fernando almorzaban en la cafetería cuando Miguel se cayó al suelo. [I thought it was the second one, however I was incorrect].

OpenStudy (esshotwired):

'Horacio y Fernando' changed to a pronoun would be 'Ellos.' So find the sentence with the 'ellos' conjugation.

OpenStudy (gelidium):

Horacio y Fernando almorzaban en la cafetería cuando Miguel se cayó al suelo. This sentence is correct.

@gelidium Next time, please do not give out answers if you don't have at least an explanation with it

OpenStudy (gelidium):

almorzaban is imperfect preterite and cayó is perfect preterite. You have two event in one sentence linked with cuando. This link can be useful to undersatnd when you need to use imperfect preterite. http://www.studyspanish.com/verbs/lessons/impreg.htm

@esshotwired: Haha, I appreciate your help, however I already figured it out on my own before @gelidium or you replied. Thank you to you both though! :)
