estar vs ser

Why does it say "será muy feliz" instead of "estará muy feliz"?

Hola Wendy L.

You’re absolutely right to question this. Both será muy feliz and estará muy feliz can be possible depending on the context, and we understand how this can feel ambiguous.

In this specific case, the exercise is aiming for será muy feliz to express a more general or inherent idea (e.g. someone being a happy person or having a happy life), rather than a temporary emotional state, which would typically use estar.

That said, your point about ambiguity is valid, so we’ve now added a hint to the exercise to make the intended meaning clearer and help guide learners toward the expected answer.

Thanks for flagging this!

Saludos

Silvia
