Preterite or Imperfect? Last summer, I went to Mexico with my family. Everyone was very excited when we arrived at the airport. While my mother was checking the luggage and my father was handling the tickets, my little sister Mary ran away. My parents dropped everything and tried to catch her, but she ducked behind the counter. Finally a manager grabbed her and brought her back to us. She was crying because she was sad that she was leaving her dog for two weeks. Everyone comforted her and, finally, she smiled and boarded the plane.
