Estar vs Ser, I also have these sentences:
El hombre es guapo. La mujer es hermosa tambien.
Should the "Es" in these sentences be "Esta"? since they are just opinions of appearance?

These are from books that I use to study and I just want to know if they are misprints or maybe I still dont understand something. thank you

If the adjective is characteristic of the person, use ser.

Opinions of appearance are more like saying "you are more handsome/prettier than usual" statements.
