Please, translate from Spanish to English, so that you can understand Spanish properly. Else this process might take a very, very long time... - chileno, Jan 14, 2014
Please use accents. They matter. - annierats, Jan 14, 2014
These are not my sentences. These are some sentences that I found. I just copied and pasted. - 00ffada9, Jan 14, 2014

Diego es de Madrid pero ahora esta estudiando en Salamanca

This is correct, but it means that Diego is studying at this very moment in Salamanca because continuous is used for estudiar. To indicate present habitual action, we use simple present tense (estudia).

I think the last one should be 'Está nevando. Juan está congelado porque sus ropas son de nilon'.

No, ropa is singular. If all of it is of this deplorable material. - annierats, Jan 14, 2014

Su jefe. El asistente no está bien organizado... Nieva, or ' hace nieve'. El pobrecito Juan se congelo porque su ropa interior está hecho de polister de seda y nylon.

annierats - Nieva, or ' hace nieve'.

'está nevando' is also fine talking about the present, it is (presently) snowing

Something for the English sentences:

Diego is from Madrid but currently studies in Salamanca.

OR

Diego is from Madrid but is currently studying in Salamanca.
