Respuesta :

Ayer mi amiga me trajo una sopa de camarones y estuvo deliciosa.

Answer:

Ayer mi amiga me trajo una sopa de camarones y estuvo deliciosa.

Explanation:

First, I'll translate the sentence:

Yesterday my friend brought me a shrimp soup and it was delicious.

Trajo (Preterite of traer, used when the subject is He/She/It) is the correct word for the first blank; traía is in the Imperfect tense.

The Preterite is used to describe actions that finished in the past (which is clearly what happens in this case, since the word AYER is being used to determine when the action took place), while the Imperfect is for actions that do not have a definite ending.

For this same reason, Estuvo (Preterite) is correct and Estaba (Imperfect) is not.
