#7 is B
#8 is D
#8 is "estaba"
(I speak Spanish)
This question concerns the use of <em>ser</em> versus <em>estar</em>. They are both forms of to be, but the former refers to lasting traits while the latter refers to transient ones. Let's translate the parts of the sentences that we have and work from there.
<em>Él ____ bien. No _____ enfermo.</em>
He [blank] good. He [blank] not sick.
We can guess that the sentence is saying the subject<em> is </em>good, that he<em> is </em>not sick. Is not being sick a permanent trait of people? It is not. Hence, the correct verb to use is <em>estar</em>.
Let's look at the options.
a) <em>es</em>, <em>es</em> - both forms of <em>ser</em>, neither correct
b) <em>está</em>, <em>es</em> - one form of <em>ser</em>, not correct
c) <em>es</em>, <em>está</em> - same as option (b)
d) <em>está</em>, <em>está</em> - both forms of <em>estar</em>; the correct option
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
d) <em>está</em>, <em>está</em>
<em>Él </em><em>está</em><em> bien. No </em><em>está</em><em> enfermo</em>
Answer:
- The tall man -> El hombre alto
- A blonde girl -> Una niña rubia
- The old computers -> Las computadores viejas/antiguas [in Spain they would say Los ordenadores viejos/antiguos, ordenador = computador/a}
- Some interesting books -> Unos libros interesantes
- The ugly backpack -> La mochila fea
- A big notebook -> Un cuaderno grande or Un gran cuaderno (it's the same thing, but the from of the adjective changes depending if it's before or after the noun)
- A funny friend -> Un amigo gracioso
- The nice teacher -> La maestra amable/simpática (it can be translated into Spanish in different ways, depending on what you want to say specifically).
- The boring homework -> La tarea aburrida
- Some adventurous students -> Unos estudiantes intrépidos (you could say "atrevidos" but that can mean another thing, in Spanish "atrevido" can <em>sometimes</em> mean "insolent", "intrépido" is always positive.)
