Why does "It is foggy" and "It is sunny" use "está" and "hay" differently?

Hi, I'm, hopinh you can help out with this query -

In this sentence: "¡La casa va a estar preciosa!" we have 'estar' used, why isn't this 'está', or 'estaría', or 'estará'?

Thanks!

The quiz answer (shown below) and the lesson information don't match.  I wonder if you could help explain.  I don't see anywhere in the Lesson where it says, "Arriba, corriendo" means "Hurry, run!"  Is that information in another lesson?

The suitcase was very small and I couldn't put everything in it. : La maleta era muy pequeña y no pude poner ___ en ella.en ella.

How is the answer to this "todo" if the noun "la maleta" is feminine?

       I hope this might serve a beneficial purpose. I just had a conversation with someone in México (also a degreed Spanish teacher). During the conversation I thought I would tryout the new phrase I learned here; I used the phrase "Estar deseando + infinitive in our conversation: "Hija, estoy deseando pasar tiempo contigo en La Navidad."  She advised that, while she understood what I was saying, it is not commonly used there and it sounded a bit odd, as if I was translating exactly from English. She wondered if was mostly used in Spain. She advised that Spanish speakers in México are more likely to use - admittedly, colloquially-  "Ya + verb Querer:"Ya quiero que pase tiempo contigo en La Navidad." This translates to: "I am looking forward spending time with you at Christmas."   As for the phrase "Tener ganas," she agreed that it could mean " looking forward to," but in México it is more associated with " I feel like ( doing/ having something)."

Hi teachers, 

(I know there are other lessons on this, which I've done, but I'm still confused) - Following on from Melissa's question below and using the same example for clarity; 

The relative pronoun 'el/la que' doesn't appear in this lesson, 

what would be the difference then, if we said 'El director del colegio, EL QUE trabaja duro, es respetado por todos?' 

I've always understood el/la que to mean 'THE ONE who/which', so I would think using 'el que' would imply there are two headteachers, one who works hard and is respected, and one who doesn't. 

But in a grammar book I have, it gives the example; 'Esta autora, que/quien/la cual/LA QUE vive en Brasil, va a visitar nuestra ciudad', (This author, WHO lives in Brasil...)

Please help me to understand. Thanks. 

The exceptions are both words that describe places of origin.  Is this a pattern or are these two examples that just happened to be place names.  I can see three possibilities:

1) When you have a place of origin adjective (from Spain, from Analusia) you always use gendered plural endings.

2) When you use gendered plural endings for adjectives ending in z or l you always use gendered plural endings

3) It's just a coincidence in the examples and neither 1 or 2 is a pattern.

Which one of these cases is closest to being correct?
