Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Passé composé only notes one and done things while imparfait notes continuous/uninterrupted or habitual things in the past.

#

Here, you should use imparfait since you can see English uses "were doing" that notes that they were in the process/middle of doing it in the past.
