Why is this the correct answer: Usted esta en la lista and not Usted estas en la lista?

¿En este ejemplo por qué la forma segunda persona singular del verbo dar se usa para el imperativo?
Here is my question in English, in case my question in Spanish is incorrect or just too awkward:
In this example, why is the 2nd person singular form of the verb, dar, used for the imperative?
Hola,
I don't know if a reply occurred in some other area, but I was wondering if you could give a bit more info
to help me understand this. I still have trouble with this particular example.
My earlier question was following your reply for : "Why the imperfect is used and not the preterit in:"puesto que era mi cumpleaños "
(I sent this same request on my Questions and Answers page, and didn't see the reply there,)
Muchas gracias, Nicole
I do not have to water them often,
Kwizbot no debo regarlas
You no necesito darlas agua
I’d like to know if my reply is good /correct Spanish or is it not the way this would usually be said. (I don't mean whether it would be understood, but is this the only way to say this, or can it be said other ways?)
Hope you had a muy Feliz Navidad and wishing you a wonderful New Year!
Thanks you.
Nicole

no estoy seguro si puedo a entender hablantes españoles sin traduciendo mentalmente en inglés.
Yo pienso que puedo pero no estoy seguro
Carmen estaba haciendo horas extra para poder comprar una cama...
I'm wondering if it is common to use two infinitives together, as in "para poder comprar"?
Thanks
Throughout the program in many quizzes in many different topics I am getting red X´s for answers that were not my answers and I am not receiving credit for my correct answers. I have seen this happen many times (in 500 tests maybe 25 times) and I finally have concluded that it really is happening but unfortunately I cannot give the feedback that you require, namely, the location where it happened, because by the time I detect a problem, the original question is already gone from the screen and cannot be retrieved. I realize that it would be very difficult if not impossible to locate and solve this because of the sheer size and complexity of the program. I understand this as a former professional software developer but I still feel that I need to report it.
This is not a complaint, per se, but merely an informative comment for your consideration.
thanks for the opportunity to report this
thank you, James
Si iba a la peluquería, me gastaba mucho dinero.
If I went to the hairdresser, I spent a lot of money.
Sorry but I can't make any sense out of the use of English in this example.
"When I went to the hairdresser, I spent a lot of money" No problem
"If I had been to the hairdresser, I would have spent a lort of money" OK
"If I were to go to the hairdresser, I would spend a lot of money"
"If I go to the hairdresser, I shall spend a lot of money"
The example: If I went to the hairdreser, I spent a lot of money" is not good English.
Hope this can be of help.
