Read the following sentence and choose the verb tense that should be used to translate it to spanish. last summer i traveled to spain. (
a. preterit tense for a completed action (
b. imperfect tense for a description

To translate the phrase "Last summer I traveled to Spain" to Spanish, the verb tense that should be used is:

a. preterite tense for a completed action

Explanation:

The translation to Spanish would be:

El verano pasado viajé a España. "Viajé" is the preterite of the verb "viajar" in the first person of the singular. The imperfect in this case would be wrong as the use of "last summer" plus the verb "traveled" indicates that is an action in the past that is already completed. The imperfect would be correct if the action was a habit in the past or a description. For example: "En mi niñez viajaba a España todos los veranos". In English: During my childhood I used to travel to Spain every summer.
