Hi,

I have read elsewhere that at least some, if not all, of these verbs can be conjugated as normal.  Although I am not sure of the circumstances.  Is this correct?

I have also seen a list of 100 verbs 'like' gustar.  Is this correct.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

¡Me gusta que nos muestre las dos formas de las frases, gracias! ;)

I know ser means ‘to be’ in terms of characteristics and estar means ‘to be’ in temporary sense or in terms of location but why does this exercise use estar for ‘to be clear’ and ‘is cloudy’ but ser for ‘can be unstable’?

How do you know when to use definite articles after the preposition "de"?   For instance "la influencia de la globalización" or "la vida de las mujeres"?   Why not just "la influencia de globalización" or "la vida de mujeres"?      In this article on "de", Using the preposition "de" in Spanish with nouns for description , none of the examples have a definite article after de.

"Esta debe ser roja para tener amor, blanca para llamar a LA paz, azul para buena salud y negra para atraer EL lujo".  I consistently get this wrong. I either add a definite article or miss it out. Are there any rules for this?

I just don´t see a definitive way of knowing when to use ser or estar in relationships. Can you help?
