Thanks. Por ejemplo:Cuando regresaba de la escuela, la primera cosa que hacia eran mis tareas, por supuesto, pero la segunda cosa que hacia era jugar al fútbol con mis compañeros. Por que no es"la primera cosa que HICE ......"

if you write "la primer cosa que hice" you give the idea that the action was done just once. but if you write "la primer cosa que hacía..." instead, you are saying that it was a regular custom

"hacía" is something you used to do in the past. "hice" you did it once in the past, not continuously.
