Estar and Ser regarding marital status

I once heard that in saying "Estoy casada," there is a subtle suggestion that one is not quite as bound by the marriage than if one had said "Soy casada." Any truth to that?

Where are you from? Second person singular or third person singular

Why was this marked wrong?

¿De dónde ________usted? - Yo soy de Venezuela.Where are you from? - I am from Venezuela.(HINT: Use verb "to be")

I selected "eres" and it was marked as incorrect. The correct answer is "es." How should I have know they expected a third person answer?

subjunctive

I had this question in a test and got it right, but I thought I read somewhere that the subjunctive is suppose to have a change of subject, but it is not true in this case (creo=yo, sepa=yo). Can you help to clarify? Thank you.

No creo que yo ________ nada hasta las diez.I don't think I will know anything until ten o'clock.HINT: Conjugate "saber" in El Presente Subjuntivosepa

Con vs De

Hola los expertos y todos

Alguien sabe porque la frase es escrita 'Los personajes andan soñando con un viaje a una isla desierta' y no es escrita 'Los personajes andan soñando de un viaje a una isla desierta'?

No he visto esa construcción antes y pues estoy una poca confundida. Si es normal, podrían dar otros ejemplos que usan la misma 'con' construcción

Using El Imperfecto Subjuntivo in hypothetical clauses introduced by si followed by El Condicional Simple

The question was : How would you say "If you did some exercise, you would lose weight faster." ? I understand the principle of using the subjunctive followed by the conditional simple. I don't understand why there are 2 answers.

Si hicieras más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Si hicieses más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Becky
