Question about Japanese
Can 「けど」「が」connect two 「です」sentences or is it supposed to be just one?
1. ケーキがいいですけど、お腹がいっぱいだったです。
2. ケーキがいいけど、お腹がいっぱいだったです。
Is the one or two correct?
1. 先週は暇でしたけど、今週は忙しそうです。
2. 先週は暇でした、今週は忙しそうです。
I ask because, in this example, I was told that number one is correct, but it attaches 「けど」to 「でした」which is the past form of 「です」no? If it just supposed to be a conjugation, should the sentence not be 「先週は暇だったけど、今週は忙しそうです。」? Sorry if this is confusing, I can clarify if needed. Thank you for any time or help :)

基本的に「です/ます」は文末に使い、途中の述語では使いません。
❌手を洗いましてから、ご飯を食べます。
✅手を洗ってから、ご飯を食べます。
「けど」も文中だから、基本的には「ですけど」ではなく、「だけど」などを使うほうがいいです。
ケーキがいいんだけど、もうお腹がいっぱいです。
先週は暇だったけど、今週は忙しいです。
or先週は暇そうだったけど、今週は忙しそうです。
