    La humedad es alta en Guayaquil, Ecuador"
    It's a humid climate there.

    La humedad está alta ahora.
    It´s not usually humid here.

    Would you help me with something, please? I can´t seem to remember or find how to open a new thread. Would you give me instructions, please?
    Thank you

    We use ESTAR (está- in the case of mankind since it s a singular noun) when
    things are TEMPORARY- Pedro está anojado- Peter is angry- but...he ll change his mood sooner or later)
    We use SER ( es- in the case of mankind since it s a singular noun) when things are PERMANENT: él es Pedro- He s Peter (and he will always be)

    does that throw any light?
    if it doesn t feel free to contact me back
    be my guest
