HI cal, welcome to the forum

Try to use the plural form, we are talking about Maria and you (in this case "we")

Answer 4

i had said "estoy" because of the "yo" but it was wrong.

Answer 5

It depends on the context:

María y yo estamos en la biblioteca (todos los días a las once)

María y yo estuvimos en la biblioteca (ayer por la mañana)

María y yo estaremos en la biblioteca (el próximo lunes)

María y yo estábamos en la biblioteca (cuando comenzó a llover)

María y yo estaríamos en la biblioteca (hoy, si no estuviera cerrada)

I found this answer very helpful, thank you! I hope you didn't terrify caljes13 ;) - Lrtward, Jan 4, 2011

This looks suspiciously like a homework assignment. Give it your best shot and then ask for opinions. You'll learn a lot this way.

Answer 7

Humm, this looks suspiciously like homework. I will direct you to the "more" tab above and choose conjugation. If you type estar in the box it will show you all the forms.

Answer 8

See, you are not so bad at Spanish. If you just don't give up, you will eventually get it right. At least, that's my theory.
