I don't mean to be rude, but Ms. Sue, I don't think you should help students checking their answers. I've been getting helpful tutoring and reasoning from other tutors, but your help just seems bland and unauthentic. I hope you can get better knowledge on the questions you decide to correct:)
By the way, the answer was A.
To choose the correct verb to complete the sentence "Elena ______ en la Habana," we need to understand the subject (Elena) and the verb phrases that can be used to describe her location.
In this case, we can eliminate options c. and d. ("estas" and "eres") because they are both forms of the verb "estar," which is used for temporary states or locations.
Now, let's examine the two remaining options:
a. esta: This is a form of the verb "estar" that is used with the third person singular subject (he/she/it) in the present tense. However, since Elena is the subject of the sentence (and a singular third person), this option does not fit grammatically.
b. es: This is a form of the verb "ser" that is used with the third person singular subject (he/she/it) in the present tense. Since Elena is the subject of the sentence, "ser" is the appropriate verb to use in this case.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. "es."
So ... Alice ...
Did you figure out why the answer was A instead of B? SraJMcGin certainly explained it thoroughly in your other posts.
Ms. Sue know's the nollege behind the answer almost everytime. So if she were to be asked why then she would be able to tell you.
@ Katie,
Well though she can back up why she thinks, she seems to be wrong this time. She seems to be wrong quite often. If on purpose or not, she cant seem to help good enough, if this is not what she specializes in then alright makes sense. However if it is, then she should;ve known.
Also I think it as A.
