Why is está bien correct when  it is a permanent condition - shouldn't it be only es buena. 

Is it still true that in some areas coger should be avoided due to negative connotations?

In spite of the hint that 'esos' refer to more abstract things,  in the test above ( cakes) why would it be esos not eses?

Gracias por compartir esta canción. Me gusta mucho.

Hi,

I'm learning Spanish to keep up with my family (mixed origins from spain, latin america, south america, etc.) and I've noticed that I don't quite understand when the people I'm talking to prefer that I use formal or informal.

Are there any general guidelines or standards as for when one is more appropriate? Like if it's someone who is your senior or based on how close you are to each other? Or is this maybe not as big a deal these days as it might have been in the past?

Thanks, Dawn.

One of the questions testing the present subjunctive of haber is:

Los pájaros irán donde ________comida.

With the correct answer being haya.

I understand the subjunctive being used in cases of hope, desire etc but I don't understand why it is used in this case rather than 'hay'.

Thanks.

It looks to me like the helping verb is not in the pretérito perfecto but rather the Present pretérito perfecto.  This may seem like a nit picking question but I am confused by the different names I see for the same tense in different sources.
