Hi, I have a couple of questions on this exercise:

1) The average temperature was 16 degrees

Kwizbot     La temperatura media fue de 16 grados
You   La temperatura media fue de 16 grados.

You could also say: La temperatura media era de 16 grados 

Hi, I don’t understand how either “fue” and “era” can be used here.

Can you please explain.  Thank you. Nicole

Also would my sentence be acceptable? If not, why not?

2) and it was very nice to stroll down the street.

Kwizbot           y fue muy agradable pasear por la calle.
You                  y fue muy agradable ir de paseo a través la calle.

Is my answer acceptable? and if not, why not?

Thank you.

Nicole

Hi,

In English, I would say that we would normally use 'to catch' rather than 'to fish' in the sentence "Podemos pescar ...".  Would coger make sense in Spanish?

Thanks.

Colin

Purpose:

Te regalo mi pulsera nueva con tal de que me dejes en paz.
I [will] give you my new bracelet so that you leave me alone.

Condition:

Te regalo mi pulsera nueva con tal de que me dejes en paz.
I [will] give you my new bracelet as long as you leave me alone.

The translation for these examples have been translated in present continuous which I thought in spanish were Voy a construir una casa  -  I am building a house

Also Tú huyes del incendio has been translated as You're running away from the fire 

which I thought would be  - está huiendo del incendio

Thanks 

Julie
