Depends on if the past...
was a definite, completed action or more indefinite. Examples:
Yo FUI maestra por muchos años. (I was a teacher for many years.)
Yo ERA maestra. (I used to be a teacher.)
FUI yo. (It was me--I did it.)DEFINITE ACTION, USES PERFECT TENSE.
Yo ERA la única de mi familia que... (I was the only one in my family that...)
DESCRIPTIVE, USES IMPERFECT TENSE.
