customer: quiero un café.

me: qué tamaño?

customer: pequeño por favor.

(the coffee shop in question has creative names for its sizes, so I often hold up a cup to clarify. :p)

me, holding up a small cup: cómo esto?

my understanding is that since the phrase "like this?" doesn't contain a noun after "this," then "esto" should be used. but technically we've been talking about "el tamaño," so is "este" correct instead? I've never been able to find something explain this exact scenario. 😅

When would I use “en”?

When using de lo más with estar, specifically, is it preferred or more common to have the adjective agree with the subject, as distinct from when using ser for example? I noticed the specific example sentences using estar both have adjective agreement with the subjects. So I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be indicative or if it's just a quirk of having examples that were chosen at random, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else...

Hola, what does ya mean in this sentence. Muchas gracias, Shirley. 

In a sentence like:

"I believe that Juan does NOT have the book.", which is correct?:

Creo que Juan no tiene el libro.   o

Creo que Juan no tenga el libro.

What setting do I use for the oven?

Hi, I'm wondering if you can use this construction in cases where the "future time indication" is implicit.  For example:

    ¿Vas al concierto?

When both participants know that "the concert" is going to take place next week.  If that's not incorrect, does it sound more or less natural than "¿Vas a ir al concierto?" ?

Thanks!

Why is ustedes used sometimes for singular subjects?

For example, Ustedes hacen una tarta de chocolate deliciosa. - is translated you make... It seems to me it should be: Usted hago una tarta de chocolate deliciosa.

What am I missing?

Could you include ave / bird in your list of examples? It appears as a question in a B2 level quiz but nowhere that I could find in any other list or lesson.
