Quiz statement:  Esa profesora explicaba muy bien pero esta nos aprobaba fácilmente.

My translation: That teacher explained things very well but this one passed us easily.

Quiz translation: That teacher explained things very well but with this one we passed [the subject] easily.

How I would translate that back into Spanish: Esa profesora explicaba muy bien pero, con esta, aprobamos fácilmente.

The translation of the second clause seems to change the focus, with the subject being the teacher (passing the students easily). I realize it’s subtle but do you think it makes a difference? Did the second teacher go easy on the students or did they just connect better with her teaching?

In the recording the speaker says the word "fuera." But that answer was counted wrong and the correct answer was given as "fuese."

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

Hola Foro y los expertos

Tengo una pregunta a propósito de la part de la oración  'pero he de insistir en que vayas a Córdoba'. 

Por qué, usamos 'en' aquí.  No es  possible decirlo igualmente sin 'en', 'pero he de insistir que vayas a Córdoba'.
