Hola Inma,

¿Espero que estés bien? 

¡He disfrutado mucho este ejercicio con todas las expresiones idiomáticas! :)

Please could you let me know if I've understood these correctly in the context of the exercise: 

-higos a brevas= once in a blue moon.

-a tope= fully, to the fullest.

-de punta en blanco= dressed up to the nines, dressed to kill. 

-se mantiene en sus trece= digging his heels in, sticking to his guns (refusing to go).

Also, I'm unsure about the sentence which includes "ya he liado a mis amigos..."  Does liar here mean 'to manage to' or 'to trick'? 

Gracias 

Hola,

Here is my train of thought. "Ayer estuve en un concierto:" "Yesterday" requires the pretérito indefinido because it refers to a completed action at a time in the past, and the verb is estar because it is referring to a location; hence estuve.

However I am stuck with "Fue en San Juan:" Is San Juan not a location? If so, would it require the verb estar rather than ser? 

It would be great if you could explain this.

Many thanks.
