Ser or Estar?

Question

I don't know what verb to use when I want to say: "It was delicious."

Is this also preterite or imperfect?

Thanks!

note: In English, there is no "e" at the end of preterit, only in Spanish... Confusing, I know. - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, Feb 16, 2010

preterite in Engish can be spelled with or without the ending "e", there is no ending e in Spanish. pretérito. - 0074b507, Feb 17, 2010

Sorry, I was wrong... you can spell it with or withour an "e" - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, Feb 17, 2010

Answer 1

How you feel and where you are*, always use the verb Estar.

*(ALL locations, but this sentence isn't part of the rhyme, mind you.)

Answer 2

Always Estar when talking about food I believe! Estuvo.

Answer 3

Fue delicioso is fine but lots of people say Fue muy rico or Fue muy sabroso.

Answer 4

According to the dictionary, estar goes with delicioso.

I would use the preterite tense, estuve delicioso, because it wasn't an ongoing condition- the meal ended at a certain point in time, so preterite is better than the imperfect.

Answer 5

Fue delicioso/a.

Answer 6

ser and preterit

Answer 7

Fue deliciosa because it isn't a condition. Some people would use estuve though and that would probably be OK but I like fue.

Edit: it's preterite.
