Write a paragraph using the preterite & the imperfect and tell about:
¿Qué hacías o jugabas cuando eras niño (5 o 6 años) (a)? 5-6 frases completas
Here is the paragraph I wrote:
Cuando tenía 5 o 6 años que jugué muchos deportes. Yo siempre jugaba al fútbol el sábado. Aprendí a nadar los lunes y miércoles. Bailé los martes y jueves. Y yo jugaba al tenis todos los viernes. Los domingos me encantaba salir a comer con mi familia o amigos.
I am not sure whether I used the preterite and imperfect correctly. Also did I use the correct feminine adjectives? I've had trouble with that in past assignments.

I've sent this to Sra. Please check back for her reply.
You do not need clause relater "que" in the first sentence. It's better to also use "los" in front of "miércoles."
Actually there are no adjectives in what you wrote. You need to decide if something DID occur, or occurED and was over and done with = the Preterit, or if it WAS ocurrING, USED TO occur often = the Imperfect.
The Preterit has a beginning and an end. The Imperfect never ended as far as you know, or you were concentrating on the "middle" of the event.
I'll flag this and come back later to see if you still have questions.
