The weather was good?

Question

How do you say "the weather was good"? It would be imperfect, but would you use ser or hacer? I'm not sure...

Answer 1

Personally, I would use hacer normally, although there are ways to ask it using ser, and depending on the sense/context I think it could be either preterite or imperfect:

Here is a native Spanish speaker asking how to say something in English, obviously he thinks the way he put it is how he would say it in Spanish:

hizo buen tiempo ayer?

hi, everyone

Here are two threads talking about the differences between hacía and hizo in this type of sentence:

Also a thread from our site with two native Spaniards (and one English speaking native): Talks about hizo vs. hacía with calor but the idea is the same, and the discussion is more direct:
