Frequent doubts

Why “¿Dónde es la boda?” and not “está”?

To say where an event takes place (a wedding, a concert, a meeting), Spanish uses ser: La boda es en Sevilla. For people and objects, estar: Las llaves están en la mesa.

How do I ask for a price that changes?

With estar: ¿A cuánto están las mandarinas? It suggests a price that varies; ¿Cuánto cuesta? and ¿Cuánto es? are also correct.

Is it “soy a favor” or “estoy a favor”?

Estoy a favor and estoy en contra: a position is expressed with estar. ¿Estás a favor o en contra?

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as many times as you want, with no account and no email. We recommend reviewing the related materials and coming back a few days later.
