Answer 1

That' it, Charles!

Answer 2

I understand "VAMOS" is going some place.
"Estabamos" past tense "WE WERE"
"Estamos" present tense Like "we are"

Answer 3

Nosotros estamos en la tienda.
Nosotros vamos (con V no con B ) a la tienda.

Estamos is to stay in a place.
ej: We are in the market = Estamos en la tienda.
Vamos is to go somewhere
ej: We go to the market = Vamos a la tienda.

ej conversación.

Marcos: Hola, Romina vamos a la tienda juntos.
Romina: Dale te acompaño, vamos.

ej: llamada telefónica

Romina: Hola marcos cómo andas ¿Dónde estás?
Marcos: Hola, Romina todo bien. Estoy en la tienda.

Answer 4

Hi Charles

Nosotros estamos is the first person plural present tense of the verb estar. We are at the shop.

Nosostros estabamos is the first person plural of the imperfect (past) tense of the verb estar. we were at the shop.
