Cristian ____ dans un restaurant à l’Argentine

The answer is “travaillait” because it is the imperfect tense form of the verb “travailler”, meaning “to work”. In this context, “Cristian travaillait dans un restaurant à l’Argentine” indicates that Cristian used to work or was working at an Argentine restaurant.

The imperfect tense is used to describe ongoing or repeated actions in the past. It denotes actions that were happening, were in progress, or used to happen in the past, without specifying their completion. In this case, it implies that Cristian had a job at an Argentine restaurant but does not provide information about whether he still works there.

To conjugate the verb “travailler” in the imperfect tense, you replace the -er ending with the appropriate imperfect tense endings. In this case, for the first-person singular pronoun (je), the imperfect form is “travaillais”. However, since the sentence refers to Cristian (third person singular), the correct form is “travaillait”.

Understanding the imperfect tense and its conjugations is crucial for expressing actions that occurred in the past but were not completed or were ongoing.
