¿Qué tiempo hacía ayer?

Question

En Los Países Bajos hacía lluvioso todo el día.

PS Is the use of the imperfect correct in both question and answer? I went for the imperfect because it feels more like background information than an actual event. I'm doubting because it concerns yesterday which is definitely over and its moment in time is clearly marked. If I'm off (or if I'm correct but for the wrong reason) please tell me why. 10 karma for every sensible answer.

Answer 1

From our very own reference section, I discovered that I'm right, at least for the answer. Question probably falls in same category, so * victory dances *

4. Describing a Scene or Person in the Past

•La niña tenía 4 años. (The little girl was 4 years old.)

•Mi profesor era alto y tenía el pelo ondulado. (My professor was tall and had wavy hair.)

•El campo era bella. (The countryside was beautiful.)

•Hacía calor esa noche. (It was hot that night.)

I still find it a very difficult topic >.

Don't we all!! To be honest, you'll need to ask one of our native speakers or advanced users to get a definitive answer. - territurtle, Sep 22, 2011
