Spanish language Q&A Forum

I wrote "La familia está" since it seems to discuss a relationship. The correct answer is given as "La familia es". So, "es" seems to be a strong opinion. Couldn't both be correct?

Also, the issue with my answer doesn't really relate to plural versus singular ("es" vs "está"). 

I don't understand the difference between hubo and habia. They seem to mean the same thing. What is the difference between them and when do you use one as opposed to the other.

Hola,

¿Qué es la diferencia de significado entre "Alguien no tiene que hacer algo" y "Alguien no tiene por qué hacer algo"? Y ¿por qué no se use "por que", sino "por qué" con el acento?

Gracias!  (I hope that all made sense!) 

Kwiziq: ...las piezas cerámicas de colores.

Me: ...las piezas de cerámica coloreada.

Can you explain the difference please?

Saludos

I thought that Habrian is in the future, but I have seen it used many times as not in the future. Are these two interchangeable?

The question does not enquire about the existence of a florist but the location. Therefore according to the lesson explanation the answer should be “Donde está”.  Please point me to the part of the lesson I have not understood. 

One of the questions in this section was:

Mi prima ________ Miss Universo. .My cousin was Miss UniverseHINT: Conjugate "ser" in Pretérito indefinido

I got this correct (fue), because of the section it is in, but would it not be better to use the imperfect for this example?  Mi prima era Miss Universo.   There is no time frame involved, outside of being in the past.  Does it really matter? Just wondering.  Thank you.

I'm not clear on what you mean by "(= a plural)"

Thanks
