If you have a decent textbook or Spanish--->English /English--->Spanish, in the appendices you should find patterns for regular and irregular verbs. Knowing that this is an irregular verb, you must memorize the forms.
It helps to know what kind of learner you are. If you learn visually, you newed to SEE what y ou need to learn. Use the bilious green, orange, pnk to color-code what is difficult for you to remember and it helps "set" it in your memory.
If you learn aurally, you need to HEAR what you want to learn. Get a small tape recorder, Say the verb forms into the recorder, leaving a space after the subject pronoun. Then, while you are listening, try to fill in the verb form before you hear it.
If you learn kinesth etically, you need to physically be involved in learning. You need to copy, trace, "walk" on the verb forms; use your imagination. This is a style that is harder to learn, but you will remember longer.
Many people are a combination of 2 of these 3 styles.
Here are the verb forms and the secret to learning is REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION .
yo estoy
tú estás
él / ella / usted está
nosotros/nosotras estamos
vosotros/vostras estáis (often not taught in many textbooks
ellos/ellas/ustedes están
Note the accent marks. They MUST be there or the verb is wrong. Now, go back up and try all the exercises. I'll come back later and check them for you.

To explain the irregular verb "estar," we need to understand that it is used to express a temporary state or condition. It is commonly translated as "to be" in English, but it is important to note that it is different from the verb "ser," which is used to express permanent characteristics or identities.
Now let's go through each question and find the correct form of the verb "estar":
1. Yo __estoy__ en mi casa (in my house).
In this sentence, since "yo" (I) is the subject, we use the form "estoy" to match the first person singular pronoun.
2. José, María, y yo __estamos__ alegres.
Here, since the subject is plural, including "yo," we use the form "estamos" to match the first person plural pronoun.
3. Mario, tú, y yo __estamos__ en el cine (at the movies).
Similarly, because the subject is plural, we use "estamos" again.
4. El perro __está__ en el parque (at the park).
Since "el perro" (the dog) is singular, we use the form "está" to match the third person singular subject.
5. Usted __está__ cerca de la casa.
"Usted" is the formal singular form of "you," so we use "está" to match.
6. Ustedes __están__ lejos de la escuela.
"Ustedes" is the plural form of "you," so we use "están" to match.
7. Las sillas __están__ en el garaje.
Since "las sillas" (the chairs) is plural, we use "están."
8. ¡Tú __estás__ loco!
With "tú" as the subject, we use "estás" to match.
9. Juan y José __están__ en la tienda (in the store).
Since "Juan y José" is a plural subject, we use "están."
10. Ana __está__ cerca de la tienda.
Since "Ana" is singular, we use "está."
Now let's focus on re-writing the sentences with the correct form of the adjective in parentheses:
11. Ana y Sara están __contentas__ (contentas).
Since we are referring to multiple females, we use the feminine plural form "contentas."
12. Marco está __loco__ (loco).
Since "Marco" is singular and male, we use "loco."
13. Los perros están __contentos__ (contentos).
Since we are referring to multiple male or mixed-gender dogs, we use the masculine plural form "contentos."
14. Nosotros estámos __llenos__ (llenos).
Since "nosotros" is a plural subject, we use the masculine plural form "llenos."
15. ¿Cómo se dice "Juan is full" en español?
"Juan está lleno."
16. ¿Cómo se dice "Sara, María, and José are mad"?
"Sara, María y José están enojados."
Now, let's answer the following questions in Spanish:
18. ¿En qué país es el dulce de leche más tradicional?
- Argentina.
19. ¿A qué es muy semejante el dulce de leche?
- Caramel/Cajeta.
20. ¿Qué ingredientes están en el Morir Soñando?
