Explain the difference between the questions ¿Cómo está tu amigo(a)? and ¿Cómo es tu amigo(a)? Also, provide logical answers in complete sentences in Spanish to both questions.

Answer 1

The question "¿Cómo está tu amigo(a)?" (How is your friend doing?) is asking about your friend's current state or condition. It aims to know how your friend is feeling physically or emotionally at that moment.
An example of a logical answer in Spanish could be: "Mi amigo(a) está muy feliz porque va a viajar a su país favorito" (My friend is very happy because they are going to travel to their favorite country).

On the other hand, the question "¿Cómo es tu amigo(a)?" (What is your friend like?) is asking for a description or characteristics of your friend's personality, appearance, or habits.
An example of a logical answer in Spanish could be: "Mi amigo(a) es muy amable y gracioso(a), siempre está dispuesto(a) a ayudar a los demás" (My friend is very kind and funny, they are always willing to help others).
