esta vs está

Why is it "pero esta muy fría" instead of "pero está muy fría"? Also, why is it "está protegida" instead of "es protegida"?

The question in the knowledge check was "Usted ________ todo lo que quiere." I chose "consigue", but it said the correct answer was "consigues"...

Subjunctive after "que"?

Sample question: "Creo que yo estoy a punto de encontrar la solución."

Is there a reason the "estoy" isn't subjunctive? If it were "espero que" instead of "creo que" would that matter?

Question about the formal usages in Spain and LatAm

Hi,

I was wondering if you have a lesson or if you could explain to me the formal and informal uses for Spain and LatAm.

Is ustedes formal for both? I know that the "vosotros: form is not used in LatAm. So what would be all the ways of being formal, i.e. sing and plural? and who does what?

Thank you.

Nicole

reflexive spanish verbs are in the infinitive form when followed by pronoun, but the bot says: "separame: and I said: separarme . Pls explain why?Kwizbot Pero ahora no podría separame de mi "handbike" You pero ahora no podria separarme de mi handbike. I think wizbot is incorrect: from what I have learned so far, and having checked online, reflexive spanish verbs are in the infinitive form when followed by pronoun. Also per Spanishdict.com they say: “Reflexive pronouns are attached to the end of affirmative commands. For compound verbs like the present progressive, the pronoun can either be attached to the end of the infinitive or present participle or go before the conjugated verb.” Thank you! Nicole

Which is right?

In the Yucatan in Mexico, I have heard el derecho for straight ahead. It is quite confusing with 'la derecha' for the right. Todo recto is much better!

Which adjectives could you use with "octubre"?

It depends where you live! I live in the southern hemisphere. My answers would be different to someone living in the northern hemisphere. Por favor, I would like to suggest the name of the country is added to the question. So ... "Which adjectives could you use to describe Spain's weather in octubre?" I hated getting marked "incorrect" when I was actually correct! Gracias and I love this course.
