I always struggled when to use fue, era, estaba and estuvo. Now I stumbled across your channel and you made it so easy to understand. The fun thing is I am German! 😀 Muchísimas gracias!

I have spent a straight 288 days on Duolingo, and whilst I can read and write some Spanish, I can’t speak, or understand spoken Spanish, however just watching a couple of theses videos I have more confidence in speaking albeit just a couple of phrases. Subscribed and will enrol for the course, start again as a beginner.

It’s crazy how “was” is such a hard concept in Spanish. It’s the whole reason I gave up the first time I tried to learn Spanish. Great video.

One of the interesting things about learning a new language is learning a new way of thinking. This video teaches five different words in Spanish that all get translated into "was" in my native English. There is an old saying in American English that the Eskimo has over 100 words for snow and they all mean something different.

So learning Spanish teaches us new ways of thinking about the past.

Great and for me at least it "was" a much thought provoking video.

Thanks buddy. This really helps. I was going crazy with WAS all the time. This video has made it so much more clear for me now. I think it's always beneficial when an English speaker breaks down a foreign language. Much appreciated !

Wow! I looked at seemingly 10+ videos trying to understand the differences in these Spanish “was” verbs. This was (estaba) the best and most effective video to watch on this subject.

Just wanted to say your channel help me build my foundation for learning Spanish four years ago. Thanks for all the work you put in to your lessons!

These videos are to the point and informative. No extras. Great! I go back time and time again until I really "get" it. Gracias por lo bien trabajo. Era interesante. Kelly

If the question is asked: como fue la fiesta? The questioner is generally asking for a short description of the party such as, it was great, it was bad. If the question is asked: como era la fiesta? The questioner is asking for a great deal more information such as how was the food, who attended, how was the music, etc. both era and fue may be used depending on the amount of detail the questioner wants.
