Cuando mis hermanos y yo fuimos menores, siempre comíamos en aquel restaurante.

Mis padres esperan que yo aprendiera mucho en la escuela.

These 2 sentences are wrong. Please help

1. The preterit (fuimos) means that "for one instant" we became young. This requires the imperfect = éramos = we WERE young (for quite some time)

However "siempre comiámos" is fine = we USED TO eat or we ATE (many times)

2. This is a "sequence of tense" problem. If the main verb is the PRESENT (esperan), or FUTURE even, the Subjunctive must be PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE. "aprenda"

However, if you want the Past Subjunctive (aprendiera), the main verb must also be PAST TENSES (imperfect, preterit or conditional) = esperaban, or esperaron or esperarían que y o aprendiera.

PS Feel free to ask any question if there is still something you do not understand.

Sure! I can help correct the sentences for you.

The first sentence should be: "Cuando mis hermanos y yo éramos menores, siempre comíamos en aquel restaurante." Here, we use the imperfect tense "éramos" to indicate that you and your siblings were younger in the past.

The second sentence should be: "Mis padres esperaban que yo aprendiera mucho en la escuela." In this sentence, we use the imperfect tense "esperaban" to indicate that your parents had an expectation of you learning a lot in school. Additionally, we use the past subjunctive tense "aprendiera" to convey the hypothetical nature of the expectation.

Remember, when correcting sentences, it's important to consider the appropriate verb tenses and agreement between verb subjects.
