Cuando eras/era joven
If I want to ask someone "what kind of food did you eat when you were young?", do you say "cuando eras joven" or "cuando era joven"?
Is this correct? "Qué tipo de comida comiste cuando eras joven?" And "do you still like the same kind of food"... "Aún te gusta el mismo tipo de comida?" Thanks! |

The choice depends on whether it is appropriate to address the other person in a polite or formal manner (use "usted") or in a friendly or informal manner (use "tú").

Thank you! I'll be interviewing complete strangers, so I'll definitely be using the polite form.
