I have the following sentence: "La sospechosa fue interrogada por la mañana."
How is this tense called? Checking your nice overview https://spanish.kwiziq.com/spanish-tense-names here, I have guessed it to be one of the Los Pasados Progresivos forms https://spanish.kwiziq.com/spanish-tense-names - but it seems to be different by using "fue" and not "estar".
Any help would be appreciated.
This is from a recent Kwiz. I chose hacen instead of están. When I was looking at the English clue in the parentheses, it sounded "past tense " to me. That is not the case as están is a present tense verb. What is going on here?
It seems to indicate that:
bien and mal go with estar
bueno and malo go with ser
but when I follow that as a "rule" I get it wrong. What am I missing please? What is the "reason" either goes with whatever?
The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says
Hoy es lunes. = Today is Monday. ("Today" is singular.)
but
Son las tres de la tarde. = It's three o'clock in the afternoon. ("It" is plural.)
Why are these different?
I looked on Wiktionary and noticed that ‘prediccion ‘ means ‘prediction’ in Spanish. When I took the quiz, why was ‘pronostico’ the correct answer?
How do you write the filling sentence using Ser format? The friends of Arkansas.
The context seems like “i had written” which would be “había escrito” (?).
Muchas gracias

Carmen estaba haciendo horas extra para poder comprar una cama...
I'm wondering if it is common to use two infinitives together, as in "para poder comprar"?
Thanks
