when do we use the passé simple and not the imparfait ?

thank you.

in this context, if you were speaking of yourself and your partner, would you use 'on'?  I thought that on was used as a more general term as we can use 'one' in English.  

Maybe it's just my Chrome browser, but I can't scroll to view the full table of words at the very end of the lesson

For the question: Nous voyagions souvent en été . To me this reads as “we often used to travel in the summer” if it was the imparfait. But the translation says “we traveled often in the summer”.

I make this out to be the passé composé which should be nous avons souvent voyagé en été  

Help! 

Your explanations often are confusing.  You write "Note that the verb agrees with the object"But what you mean is

"The pleasing thing or person is the subject, and as always, subjects and verbs agree.  The person or thing being pleased is placed as an indirect object, either as the object of the preposition à or with an indirect object pronoun.
