My bad, it just wasn’t clear. Would help is the form structure in the first part would read something like: Haber (past) + estado + present participle

era/ estaba

Why is estaba used in the sentence-

Después del baño, estaba muy calmado y feliz.

Why not era. Is it because describing feeling in the past?

If I may suggest that you also put in bold the word "past" in the following sentenceIf I may suggest that you also put in bold the word "past" in the following sentence (I have passed right over this crucial bit of information so many times.)
Desde que + subjunctive

When talking about past actions we can also use it with the subjunctive, but this makes it sound more formal.

¿Se puede usar "cuales" por si mismo como pronombre relativo?

¿Se puede usar solo "cuales" como pronombre relativo? ¿O se necessita siempre usa con el/la/los?

percentages in numbers

I think 55% and 37% should be written in letters for the sake of pronouncing "porcentaje"

Please help me follow this explanation.

"We use the preposition "de" after the adjective..." by adjective do you mean facil/dificil?

when the subject is "the thing" (el armario) - Can you expand please as to what "the subject being the thing" means? What thing? What does thing refer to here?

"...not when the subject is "doing something" (montar el armario)." Isn't the subject always doing something? I don't understand this distinction.

All the examples are great and I can sense the pattern but I'd like something more concrete to be able to lock-in to the rule please :-)

Definite article or not?

"Esta debe ser roja para tener amor, blanca para llamar a LA paz, azul para buena salud y negra para atraer EL lujo". I consistently get this wrong. I either add a definite article or miss it out. Are there any rules for this?
