Answer:
el pastel estaba delicioso
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by seperating out the adjectives, verbs, and nouns.
Quote: "Cake was delicious"
So cake is a noun as it is a thing (food).
Now convert it to Spanish in the culinary version:
- This is in masculine form. * It cannot be feminine *
Example: I have baked a birthday cake for you. - Te he preparado un pastel de cumpleaños. (Translated to Spanish).
Now that we have the first part done, let's move on to the next word.
The word is was, this word is a verb as it describes the action and set the course of the adjective describing the noun and in this case, the subject of the sentence; the cake or el pastel. Since Spanish does not have a 1:1 relationship with English, the fact is that there is no single word that you can use for "was" in Spanish.
Era joven: I was young.
Habia buen tiempo : the weather was nice
Estuve bien. I was fine
Fue bueno. It was good.
Tuve hambre = I was hungry
Hubo cinco vacas= there were 5 cows
So as you can see, it's not that simple.
There are forms of ser, estar, haber, and tener, all of which can mean "was."
In this case, we are going to be using "ser" which means "to be" in Spanish.
Example: The ocean is blue. --El océano es azul.
Therefore, the answer for this word is "ser".
The last word is "delicious" which is a adjective describing the cake in the person who ate the cake's perspective.
Now in Spanish, delicious has both a masculine and feminine form so it depends on the gender of the person who is saying it for the form.
Word: Delicious
Spanish Translation: Delicioso (Masculine), Deliciosa (Feminine).
In Spanish, the "O" at the end of the adjective is always masculine and the "A" is always feminine.
A synonym of delicious is (tasty)
example:
The soup was delicious.La sopa estaba deliciosa.
To sum everything up,
Let's combine our translations.
Oh wait! We need to add the pronoun and since we saw that el pastel is masculine we need to use "el" which is masculine while "la" is feminine.
So the final answer or translation would be,
El pastel estaba delicioso.
