passed tenseA recurring difficulty with the writing challenges is choosing between passé composé and l'imparfait (I wish there were more hints in the answers) B1 "week 49" "St Patrick's day" opens with "Last weekend, we were in Chicago to celebrate St Patrick's Day." 'nous étions' is the suggested answer. Why not 'nous avons été' ?
