If roaches understood English I would tell them: You are good for nothing!

Si las cucarachas entendieran español, les diría: ¡Son unas buenas para nada!

In this case... era is used when it was a general situation, eg. En esa época no era una buena idea nadar con tigres. On the other hand, using fue is for a particular situation, eg: Saltar a la piscina no fue una buena idea, había un tigre allí. :) - nelson_rafael, Apr 22, 2014

Cuando éramos niños mi madre nos decía que no nos comportábamos bien y que cuando fuéramos adultos, iba a visitarnos y desarreglar nuestras casas, y ahora que es mayor, empiezo a creer que realizará su amenaza de vengarse.

When we were children, my mother would tell us that we were not good, and that when we were adults, she was going to visit us and mess up our houses, and now that she is older, I am beginning to believe that she will make good on her threat of vengeance.

I thought it was a good idea, but no.

Pensé que era una buena idea, pero no.

*I'm confused on whether era belongs in there or not.....seems like too many conjugations in close proximity.
