Analyze the first question

The sentence is "\_\_\_\_\_ comimos en un restaurante."
The verb "comimos" is conjugated in the preterite tense (we ate), which indicates a completed action at a specific point in time.
"El sábado pasado" (Last Saturday) is a specific time marker that triggers the preterite tense.
"Todos los sábados" (Every Saturday) indicates habitual action, which would trigger the imperfect tense ("comíamos").

Analyze the second question (Question 8)

The sentence is "Nosotros \_\_\_\_\_ hacer el viaje."
The options are "queríamos" (imperfect) and "quisimos" (preterite).
In Spanish, the verb "querer" in the imperfect ("queríamos") describes an ongoing mental state, desire, or intention in the past ("we wanted to make the trip") without focusing on a specific beginning or end.
The preterite "quisimos" means "we tried to/attempted to" or "we willed it" at a specific moment.
For describing a general desire or state of wanting to make a trip, the imperfect "queríamos" is the standard and correct choice.
