Questions & Answers about Tú ibas a saborear ese cono crujiente.
Why do we use the imperfect ibas here instead of the preterite fuiste?
The structure ir a plus an infinitive uses the imperfect tense (ibas) to express an intention in the past, meaning you were going to do something. It usually implies that the action was interrupted or never actually happened (an unfulfilled intention). If you used the preterite (fuiste a saborear), it would mean you physically went somewhere specifically to savor it and the action was completed.
Why is the pronoun Tú included if ibas already tells us the subject is you?
How does saborear differ from other verbs like probar or comer?
Why is the adjective crujiente placed after the noun cono?
