Cómo estás Hello, about the question: "Pedrito, how are you? " My answers were: ¿cómo estás?, ¿qué tal? and ¿cómo está?. The bot took my third choice as non correct. At the explanation tab however, it states : "even when we greet a person using their first name, we can still use a formal greeting as a sign of respect for an elderly person or because we feel that person prefers a more formal approach - in this instance we can still use the formal question: "¿Cómo está?", for example: Carmen, ¿cómo está?" So, I dont understand why cant we use the formal type for Pedrito too. I would think because he is a child but still a child could have the right to prefer a more formal approach. What is the case here, and why is the question: "Pedrito, ¿cómo está? wrong?

por vs sobre

For the question "No hay muchas casas ________ el monte." meaning, there aren't many houses on the mountain, why wouldn't sobre work? If I wanted to say "there aren't many books on the table", wouldn't sobre be acceptable in that instance?

a señora ________ esperando al médico durante 40 minutos. The lady was waiting for the doctor for 40 minutes.

Why was the English translation of the Spanish question misleading?.. It should have been written as.... The lady waited for the doctor for 40 minutes...

Formal- cómo está

On the question:

Mamá, ________

Why wouldn't "cómo está" be a correct answer? Wouldn't it be formal when speaking to a parent?

Thank you!
