Fue vs. Fue ie. Was vs. WentWhen I quizzed my Studyplan, one of the questions was:
"What does "Olivia fue a la piscina esta mañana." mean?
The correct answer was: "Olivia went to the swimming pool this morning.", which I got right, because 'ir' is followed by 'a' in this sentence.
I noticed that in the lesson all the examples using "ser" in the Preterito Indefinido were followed by either a noun or an adjective:
"Él fue alpinista en su juventud." (He was a climber in his youth.) In this case a "noun";
"Ellos fueron muy famosos el año pasado." (They were very famous last year.) In this case an "adjective".
My question is how would you say, "Olivia WAS at the swimming pool this morning."?
Would you say, "Olivia fue en la piscina esta manana."?, using "en" rather than "a"?
("Olivia fue la piscina esta manana." doesn't sound right at all.)
If this is the case, a few examples added to the lesson would be a great help.
Gracias y Saludos
The table has two examples of verbs not three.

Hola,
In the following quiz I replied with ‘...solamente hubiéramos llegado...’ and it was marked as incorrect. The required answer was just ‘hubiéramos llegado’. Was I in fact wrong to include ‘solamente’? Is the ‘if only’ implied here?
Si ________ a tiempo. If only we had come on time.HINT: Conjugate "llegar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de SubjuntivoGracias a todos
Hi, Why do you say: “Como es usted” instead of: “Como esta usted”!? Gracias, Arabelle
Im not sure when to use each of these tenses. Are they interchangable?
In the example, "You have already slept enough for today," what is the reason for using 'lo' here: "Ustedes ya han dormido lo suficiente por hoy."
when do we use aumentar vs ir en aumento?
when do we use 'en' + noun pattern? or rather when do we use 'ir`? is it a grammar pattern where 'ir' + ' en' + noun?
