The lesson should also explain whether the meaning is the same if these sentences use the future tense instead. Thank you.
Hello!
When using phrases like, "The boy is still little." or "The girl is not little any more.", would one use a form of estar, or would a form or ser be used? Thank you for your help.

The test asked me for the correct verb to use with the sentence "Tu ***** la primero de la lista" - this seemed to be a temporary thing, so I chose "estas". The right answer was "eres" - i.e. a permanent state.
I am confused - can anyone explain why use ser rather than estar in this case?

Hola Inma,
Ayer me cobraron de más en ese bar, _conque_______ dudo mucho que vuelva a ir.
They overcharged me in that bar yesterday, so I very much doubt I will return.
This sentence is from a test a took here. Dudo and vuelva have the same subject, yo. Is there a rule for this? I thought, in order to use the subjunctive, there must be different subjects. Can you, please, explain?Muchas gracias

You make the distinction that todavía can be placed before or after the verb unlike in English, but I think it can be done in English as well. It might be a bit less common (or perhaps more poetic), but I can think of sentences where it could come after the verb still.
fue reina de Castilla, Aragón y Navarra.
Here's the hint we gave you:Castile = Castilla, Aragon = Aragón, Navarre = Navarra, don't put any article in front of "queen", use El Pretérito Imperfecto
In the above example the English translation refers to “she”, but am I correct, that there is nothing in the spanish
sentence that refers to a “she”? In fact, wouldn’t “le” normally default to the masculine?
I created about 24 personal notebooks, But in the pull-down Notebook window I can only see the first 20. Is there a way to see my other notebooks? Are we limited to 20 Notebooks each?
In the first example of this lesson, could the word "solía" be omitted and simply use "nadia", as the verb tense implies "usually"?
