Answer 2

I indicate my students:

ending ed = estar + adjectivo

ending ing = ser + adjectivo

'indicate to my' would be grammatical, but it is an unusual way to say 'show' or 'teach'. :) - chaparrito, Jul 28, 2010

Good, good, but look at the two corrections that gfreed left in his comment. Other than those it looks fine to me.

Thanks. - alba3, Jul 28, 2010
