Questions & Answers about Sempre que dormias aqui, elogiavas o conforto do quarto.
Why does this sentence use the indicative (dormias) after sempre que instead of the future subjunctive?
Because the sentence describes a past habit, not a future possibility. We use the indicative with sempre que for things that actually happen regularly in the present or happened in the past. You only use the future subjunctive after sempre que when talking about an event that might happen in the future.
Why are both verbs in the imperfect tense (dormias and elogiavas) rather than the simple past?
The imperfect tense is used for ongoing or repeated background actions in the past. Sempre que (whenever) inherently describes a recurring event, so the imperfect is the natural choice to show that sleeping here and praising the comfort was a repeated past habit, rather than a one-time completed action.
