i was wondering if the following sentences correctly use the preterite and/ or imperfect:
Juan pensaba que fue al amore al principio vista, pero Isabel empezo a trabjar con juan
una dia despues de trabajo, Juan pidiera Isabel a comiera la cena con el
fue al amore = I'm not sure what you think you said or if you mean to use ser or ir. Don't forget the necessary accent marks = Isabel empezó a trabajar (spelling)...Juan un día después del trabajo
Also, al principio vista doesn't make sense. Next time, please post the English of what you are trying to say, to be sure it is corrected well.
At the end, it looks like a run-on sentence? You probably want: "Juan le pidió a Isabel a comer la cena con él.
After you've made all the corrections, it would be a good idea to repost to be sure.

Based on the given sentences, let's analyze whether the preterite or imperfect is used correctly:
1. Juan pensaba que fue al amore al principio vista, pero Isabel empezo a trabjar con juan.
- In this sentence, the verb "pensaba" (he thought) is correctly conjugated in the imperfect tense since it portrays an ongoing action in the past. However, "fue" (he went) should be conjugated as "iba" (he was going) in the imperfect tense to maintain consistency with the imperfect verb "pensaba." So, the correct sentence would be:
"Juan pensaba que iba al amore al principio vista, pero Isabel empezó a trabajar con Juan."
2. Una dia despues de trabajo, Juan pidiera Isabel a comiera la cena con el.
- In this sentence, both verb forms are incorrect. "Una dia" should be "Un día" (One day) since "día" is a masculine noun and requires "un." The verb "pidiera" should be "pidió" (he asked/requested) conjugated in the preterite tense because it represents a single completed action in the past. The verb "comiera" should be "comiera" (she ate) conjugated in the imperfect subjunctive tense as it follows the verb "pidió." So, the correct sentence would be:
"Un día después de trabajar, Juan pidió que Isabel comiera la cena con él."
In summary, the corrected versions are:
1. "Juan pensaba que iba al amore al principio vista, pero Isabel empezó a trabajar con Juan."
2. "Un día después de trabajar, Juan pidió que Isabel comiera la cena con él."
To check if your sentences use the preterite and imperfect correctly, it's helpful to review the rules and conjugations of these tenses and ensure consistency within the sentences.
