Answer 1

Hello! I think the word your looking for might be "estuvo",from esta,estaba

Answer 2

Yes, I would agree about the subjunctive. It is just a statement of facts (in the professor's point of view).

Answer 3

Which one Sandy, out of interest'

Answer 4

Answer 5

Thank you for your help. I did do it myself first. This is to check myself. thank you

Answer 6

Hi Sandy
I think you should have tried to do it yourself first and then ask whether it is correct. You will learn nothing by getting someone else to do your home work.

Answer 7

El profesor piensa que el estudio de los tiburones___|__ES___|_importante porque ayuda a la gente a comprender la naturaleza. El dice que\___|_ESTA___| muy contento de vivir en Hawaii porque para el\___|_ES___|mejor vivir cerca de la playa. Su libro Tiburon\___|_ES___|un estudio muy importante de estas criaturas del mar.

• That's my opinion...they all appear to be ser apart from his being content to live in Hawaii.

Also, although quoting someone else (the teacher) as the text does, i don't believe this causes any subjunctive mood.
