Answer: decidimos
3. queríamos (Dont't forget the necessary accent mark)
4. conocimos (Preterit because the action is over and done with)
7. echar a perder is "to ruin, spoil" so the answer is echar una ojeada = have a look at it
13. Look closely at whether it is singular or plural! eran (with time) / llegaron = they did arrive, not they were arriving

I'll send this to our Spanish tutor, SraJMcGin.
Well done! You have correctly answered all the questions. Keep up the good work! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
To answer the questions, you need to understand the grammar rules and verb conjugations in Spanish. Here's how you can arrive at the correct answers:
Question 1:
The sentence talks about trying to arrive on time in the past. Since "tried" implies an intention or desire, you should use the verb "querer" in the past tense. The answer is "quise." For the second part of the sentence, "there was" refers to a past event without emphasizing its completion, so you should use the imperfect tense. The answer is "había."
Question 2:
The sentence talks about someone refusing to admit something in the past. To express this, you need to use the verb "querer" in the negative form. The answer is "no quisieron." For the second part of the sentence, "you already knew" implies a completed action in the past, so you should use the preterite tense. The answer is "supiste."
Question 3:
The sentence talks about a desire to go to Madrid in the past. This indicates an ongoing desire, so you should use the imperfect tense of the verb "querer." The answer is "queríamos."
Question 4:
The sentence talks about meeting someone in the past. Since "we met" implies a completed action in the past, you should use the preterite tense of the verb "conocer." The answer is "conocimos."
Question 5-7:
These questions are about choosing the correct expression with the verb "echar." You need to understand the meanings of each expression. The correct answer for question 5 is "echar una mano" (to lend a hand), for question 6 is "echar a suertes" (to leave it to chance), and for question 7 is "échelo una ojeada" (take a look).
Questions 8-15:
These questions ask for the correct conjugation of verbs in the preterite or imperfect tense. To answer these questions, you need to understand the context and the rules for using these tenses. For each question, determine whether the action is a completed event in the past (preterite) or an ongoing or repeated action in the past (imperfect). Then, conjugate the verb accordingly.
By following these steps and using your knowledge of Spanish grammar, you can arrive at the correct answers to the questions.
