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?

In the lesson you give examples for estar deseando in imperfect, but not for tener ganas de. I feel pretty sure I could use tener ganas de in imperfect as well, but neither seems to fit well with preterite. 

Could you say more about how these two are used with other moods and tenses and what limitations, if any, exist.

EDIT: Sorry, I see you answered part of this in an earlier reply. However, could you indicate any other limitations that might apply. I wonder about subjunctive too.

Imagino que vosotros ________ la verdad. I imagine that you had told the truth.HINT: Conjugate "decir" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto

Imagining always takes the indicative, or is this case specific?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am under the impression that rico means rich.

So when we call food item rico, it appears to me to be rich in calories.

Or is it that we call it delicious because only rich people can have such a meal/ food item?

Hola,

I was wondering if you could explain why solamente is not an acceptable choice. Thanks for your help
