-Un comentario que encontré para ayudarte a diferenciar ésta, está y esta-


Fuente: http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/140057/the-difference-between-sta-and-esta

 

<em>está</em> = the 3rd person singular conjugation of the verb "estar" = to be. It means he/she/it is or you (formal) are

<em>esta</em> = a demonstrative adjective, meaning "this". It is the feminine form of "this" and refers to a feminine noun. For example, "Esta canción es muy famosa." The word "canción" is the noun to which the adjective "esta" is referring.

<em>ésta</em> = a demonstrative pronoun, meaning "this". It is the feminine form of "this" and is used in place of a specific feminine noun. It's identical to the demonstrative adjective except that it bears a written accent on the stressed syllable to distinguish it from the adjective. For example, "No me gusta ésta." Meaning, "I don't like this." referring to, and replacing, something "feminine" not liked, such as a song = "canción".

8. ¿La manzana es verde? it's valid how you wrote it, but the most correct form is: La (article) + Manzana (noun) + es (verb) + verde (adjective). it sounds more natural if you start with the subject. 9. Tengo que darselo a ella. -darselo- is used if the verb affects to "he/she", -dartelo- if the verb affects "you person", -darlo- is used when you do not specify to who you are giving it -Tengo que darlo-. As you can see the termination of the verb changes if the verb affect to the different persons.There are other cases that changes the termination, like when "i" give it and when "we" give it. Sorry but the verb termination is affected by many things in spanish. 10. Same case as above. 12. No puedo comerme la manzana. it is valid how you wrote it, but like before, the verb in this case affects "me" so the verb can be changed adding the termination -me-. However it doesn't sound weird how you did it. i hope it helps, and yeah, sorry for my bad english
