    In Spain we will said “la fiesta estuvo bien” o “la fiesta fue buena/buenísima”. We won’t said “la fiesta estuvo buena/buenísima”. Meaning the adjective “bueno/a” is always after the verb “ser”, whereas the adverb “bien” is place after the verb “estar”. That’s a key difference between the Spanish from Spain and Latinamerican Spanish.

    Yeh surely you could say ‘el festival fue brilliante’ why would this be ‘estuvo ?

    ​@johnmiller3970 Fue means went, estuvo means was. It's the difference between saying the party "went" well, vs that the party "was" good.

Just so you know for when your channel blows up!

    If I accidentally said "El carro estaba en el parqueadera por dos horas", what would it be understood to mean? Would it change the meaning, or would it just be a grammatical error and be understood the same as if estuvo was used?

    Hola, gracias. He visto tu video, pero tengo una pregunta. En mi libro ´gramática de uso del español´ para el DELE C1, tengo la siguiente duda:. - ¿Por qué no viniste ayer? - Estuvé o estaba (?) mala. Me dolía mucho la cabeza. Yo había escrito 'estuvé' porque es un pasado terminado, pero la respuesta correcta es 'estaba'. ¿Ambos pueden ser correctos? Gracias de antemano. :)

    I only know from my experience with Colombians, but recently after finishing the meal (within a few hours of, or even within the same 24 hours in some cases) it’s more common to use estuvo… but if you ask someone for example, how their food was at a restaurant on the weekend, and it’s now Wednesday, they use estaba… but also I think in Spain they just use estaba for this type of situation, no matter how much time has passed since finishing… I’m not native though so don’t take my word as gospel 😂

    Hi Jonathan! Estaba and estuvo are the past and preterite of (Estar) and Era/Fue are the past and preterite of (Ser) Remember they're both verb TO BE in English, it's just that we have two, and the two are used in different situations and NOT interchengeably. I'd recommend go back to basics - Ser VS Estar :) hope this helped!
