[serendipity]

I know there's something wrong with this sentence, but I don't know how to make it right :/ Help?

"Ayer tuve clase de español un trabajo en grupo sobre la capital de España"

Basically, I'm trying to say that I had spanish yesterday and that we worked together in groups about the capital of Spain.. I know it's not right!!

Ayer, en la clase de español, trabajamos en grupos para aprender algo de la capital de España.

I know that it's different but, I feel to it's corrects because, your own text almost not sence in itself build.

Yes, you are right, I'm sorry for my mistake.

instead of trabajábamos?

The preterite tense was used because the working had an end.

[cmon]

forgot that the preterite had same ending.
What a jerk!

Trabajamos=we had worked / we worked
Trabajabamos=we had been working/we were working

Tricky field, tenses. Also difficult for Spanish speakers, the english tenses. For example, the distribution going to vs will...lots of rules and at the end of the day a big percentage of sentences would admit both.
