Which form of the verb estar would be used in this sentence and why? No quiero que ____ en el pasillo. The possible options are esta, estoy, estar, and estes. I would assume either estoy to continue the first person singular form of the verb or esta because pesillo is third person singular, but I am unsure which is correct

OpenStudy (supercait10):

it will be Estar, Because is used to describe location, health, or any condition.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, the correct one would be estes. the English translation would be, I don't want you to be in the hallway.

OpenStudy (xhannahx):

The correct one would be "estes". The reason being is that "no quiero que" is a subjunctive sentence and, therefore, requires a subjunctive verb which "estes" is. If you need any further explanation regarding the Spanish subjunctive please do get back to me.
