Explanation:
In this activity we have to listen to the questions and select the correct form of "ser" or "estar" to replace the beep in each one. The verbs "ser" and "estar" can be both translated to "to be" in English. But in Spanish, they are two different verbs and are used for different purposes.
"Ser<em>" </em>is used to talk about long lasting attributes, qualities of someone or something, occupations, characteristics, origin, relationships, belongings. That's why options 3) "¿Es guapo tu primo? (Is your cousin handsome?) and
4) ¿Es la bicicleta de Laura? (Is it Laura´s bicycle?) use the verb "<em>ser</em>".
"<em>Estar</em>" is used to talk about a temporary location, the place where something or someone is, position; also for things like physical and mental conditions. It's also used to describe actions happening in the moment, followed by a present participle or past participle. Therefore, options 1) "Dónde está el aeropuerto?" (Where is the airport?), 2)"¿Están ustedes pescando?" (Are you fishing?), 5) "¿Está enojado con su novia Arturo?" (Is Arturo mad at his girlfriend?) and 6) "¿Está el hotel cerca del mar?" (Is the hotel close to the beach?) use the verb "<em>estar</em>"
