Cómo es

When is "cómo es" used? I keep seeing it as a correct option but what scenario it would be used in hasn't been specified.

Does this example phrase fit in here?

Using an online translator to translate "Then it can be demonstrated that the statement is true."

I get "Entonces se puede demostrar que la afirmación es verdadera."

In the English translation it is optional whether you say "it can be demonstrated" or "one can demonstrate".

Is this the same construct as the one covered in this lesson? If so, should there be examples of it above? If not, is there a lesson that covers this one?

Thank you!

Wrong Example?

The example below seems to be in the wrong lesson. Shouldn't the ustedes example be using "huyen" for El presente, not this:

Ustedes huyeron muy rápido

Ser versus estar

y eso estaba bastante triste.

Isn't being sad a feeling, so why not "estar" instead of "ser"? Thanks.

Poco/a vs. un/una poco/a

Hi, my understanding was that "un poco" was always used when poco was used as a pronoun, instead of as an adjective or adverb along with the explicit noun?

Ex: Quieres arroz? Si, un poco (de arroz).

Ex: Solo quiero poco arroz.

Ex: Necisito estudiar poco.

Is this not correct?

Thanks!!

*(BTW, this website is so incredibly helpful.

Wrong Translation

Mi madre no piensa que yo vaya a terminar el curso de fotografía.My mother does not think I will be able to finish the photography course.
“…vaya a terminar..” means …going to finish…” It does not mean “…be able to finish…” but, hey, I may be translating too literal?
