Cultural Tip
In Spanish, both *fue* (preterite of *ser*) and *estuvo* (preterite of *estar*) can be used with *agradable*. *Fue* emphasizes the inherent quality of the event, while *estuvo* focuses on the temporary state. Native speakers often choose *fue* for events that are considered intrinsically pleasant, and *estuvo* for moments that felt pleasant at that specific time.
