Bueno, se podría decir cuán hermosos son, qué tan limpia es el agua y qué tan limpia es la arena. No vivo cerca de una playa porque estoy en el estado de Arkansas en los Estados Unidos, pero creo que la forma en que describiste a Puerto Rico es genial.
Answer:
There are several instances in Spanish where one English word (or tense) can be translated two different ways in Spanish (Por and Para, The Imperfect Tense and the Preterite Tense, Ser and Estar) and the decision you make can affect the meaning of the sentence. Translating from Spanish to English is not a problem because both ser and estar become a form of "to be." Translating from English to Spanish, on the other hand, is much more difficult because a decision needs to be made on which of the two verbs to use.
