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

Magdalena = muffins?  Crei que muffins se traduce como "mollette".  Y por que "magdalena?  Que una referencia a la santa?

Pretty much a waste of listening time  . . .

I was wondering if there was a reply to his question below:

"didn't need to (infinitive) & needn't have (past participle) are used to express the lack of necessity in the past, ..."

When should I use the past progressive rather than the imperfect tense

Might be a stupid question, but i dont really understand the difference between when to use “tratar” and “tratar de”..? Thank you!
