how do you say "It was sunny"?

Question

how do you say"It was sunny" in Spanish?

Answer 1

Hacía sol.

Since "It is sunny" is "Hace sol" then your use of the imperfect makes the most sense to me. (Besides- I trust you to know these things) - Goyo, Dec 20, 2009

Answer 2

The translator gives "Hizo sol".

Hizo is the preterite tense, which is past tense and that is correct. But the imperfect, hacía, is also past tense, but imperfect is for a longer period of time than preterite. I assume it was sunny all day? jeje. Mokay says your is also correct. - Goyo, Dec 20, 2009

So "Hizo sol" in England then :) - ian-hill, Dec 21, 2009

Answer 3

Es fue soleado. = (It was sunny)

¿Es fue? - Goyo, Dec 20, 2009

Yes. I have seen it in books this way and heard it said. But "hacía sol" is also fine. Also see below "Estaba soleado" from Mokay is a real good way. I prefer to use the word "soleado" it is always on the tip of my tongue ready to use. - Daniel, Dec 20, 2009

I get what you mean now -- how can I use "fue" which is "ser". Remember the CID rule "Classify - Identify - Define" - Daniel, Dec 20, 2009

No, how can you use two conjugated verbs, both being forms of ser, back to back? - Goyo, Dec 20, 2009

Good question. I need to check this out. Ahh it must have been "fue soleado". Now I am confused. - Daniel, Dec 20, 2009

I got it Goyo -- It is me and my bad grammar! That's it. - Daniel, Dec 20, 2009
