Even though I've read and practiced a lot with them, I still can distinguish which is which, why in this story "Je voulais les garder" but not "J'ai voulu les garder". Please help me!

Passé composé vs Imparfait
This question relates to:French writing exercise "First visit to the vet"
Asked 3 years ago
Bonjour Thanh Tân,
Here, the person is expressing a past opinion (vouloir = to want -> verb of opinion/desire) and therefore the verb will be in L'Imparfait in this context.
See here: Expressing opinions and describing with the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
