Just a scare/ fright.do they make sense ?
In Spanish we say: Fue solo in susto.o To-do quedó en un susto
We say this when we expected something very wrong ( accident for ex.) But in the end nothing happened.we just felt scared in advance.
How would you say it ?
It just gave us a scare ????

Thank you

Answer

There are some ways to say it, but I always use a complement at the first part.
Ex:
At the end... it was just a hard time
At the end... it was just a frightened time

Hope it helps.
