Question

Would someone be willing to edit this paragraph? It's part of a three page paper that is supposed to be a new chapter in Don Quixote. I don't really know when to use imperfect and when to use the preterite, or how to phrase things in Spanish.

Después de Don Quixote de La Mancha luchó Carasco y perdió, Carasco comandó Don Quixote ir a su casa. Don Quixote prometió volver a La Mancha y parar siendo un caballero errante. Tan, Don Quixote y Sancho Panza empezaron en sus viajes. Pero en la manera ellos encontraron algunas problemas.

Answer 1

Thanks, that is very helpful. In the second sentence I was trying to say to stop being; is that incorrect?

Answer 2

Yes! To stop (for variety) could also be: detener de ser / dejar de ser (more idiomatic than "parar siendo."
