I see now why putting "Tu sei gratis domani sera" would be both wrong and could get me a slap around my face!

    Why is it 'E libera' and not 'sei libera'?

    Sorry, but I'm still wondering too.

      Actually the translation is the same so it doesn't change.

      "È libera" is more formal tho

      If you were asking a man this question, would it be "sei /libero/ domani sera?"

        Yes. You got it :) Libero is an adjective and so the ending has to agree in gender and number with what it is describing.

          Why is 'siete liberi domani sera' rejected by DL?

          Presumably if you are going to use the voi form of essere with siette, then you'd also need the voi form of liberare with liberate too.

            Liam libero is an adjective here, not a verb. I would think "siete liberi" should be accepted as a translation of "are you (all) free?". It should probably be reported for the DL team to consider.

              It has been accepted today. Probably it was a mistake.

                  are you free tomorrow evening: È libero domani sera? have i missed something with è? thought it ment it is, so why is it that sentence correct?

                    I guess you are literally asking "is tomorrow evening free?" which is a rather free translation of "are you free tomorrow evening?".

                        why does it give the option "libero" when the question is asking "are you"?
