      According to spanishdict.com, "están" is the present form of "estar" in the third person plural. It means "they are".

        I believe estar is used with the location of something.

        Ser is used for permanent things, like the fact that you are human. Estar is used for temporary things, like where things are (including you!).

          As far as I can see, it's the same bag - el bolso or la bolsa. Both correct, unless there is some particular meaning in Spanish for one or the other

            "Tomate" is masculine, so it's "el tomate" and "los tomates".
