Queremos darte algo para todo el esfuerzo que has hecho.\nThat is using the familiar "tu" form.\nQueremos darle algo para todo el esfuerzo que ha hecho.\nThat is using the "usted" form.\nQueremos darle algo por trabajar tan duramente.\n\nRather than "duro trabajo" which means really that that the work was hard, rather than hard working or the effort they put into their work.

Do you refer to the person as tú or usted?  Is the person you are talking about male or female?\n\nThe possibilities are:\n¿Estás (tú) despierto? (tú, male)\n¿Estás (tú) despierta? (tú, female)\n¿Está (usted) despierto?  (usted, male)\n¿Está (usted) despierta?  (usted, female)\n\nI have placed the subject of each sentence in parentheses because it is possible to leave out the subject if the person you are talking about is already the main topic of conversation.\n\nAnd the appropriate verb to use in this situation is always estar.  If you were using "ser" along with the adjective "despierto" you would be saying something like "The person is very aware and notices things all the time."  I have never heard a native speaker of Spanish use this adjective this way.

chris_keever2000 and sunflower are completely correct, but here's a more concise answer:\n\nYou want to say "Soy tímida" if you mean "I am a shy person".  As the others mention, it's not about permanent vs. temporary (which is a simplistic explanation they use in beginning Spanish classes) but more about whether something is an intrinsic quality.  If you're normally brave but just feel shy in a particular situation, I think "Me siento tímida" is more idiomatic than "Estoy tímida".\n\nThere are a few adjectives for which you can use either; e.g. "Estás bonita" means "you look beautiful (today, right now, etc." whereas "Eres bonita" means "you are beautiful" (i.e. you are an attractive person).  I don't think "tímido" falls into this category, though.

neither it's tienes que comer mas. but if it has to be one of those 2 you'll have to add another word." tu estas muy delgada (vas a) tener que comer mas" good luck!

You can use the "Ustedes" -formal conjugation- one, which is further easier than Vosotros -informal conjugation-. It's the same as "ellos". They'll think you learned spanish in latin america, so don't worry.

I wonder if the expression is not rather:\n"máquina contestador está contestando".  It would make more sense, and would mean: "The answering machine is answering".

I know a lot about them--what did you want to know?  German is actually considered mixed SVO/SOV since all dependent clauses have the verb moved to the end.  A very good book on German syntax comparing it to English is "A Comparative Typology of English and German" by John A. Hawkins, 1986, University of Texas Press.  There may be something more recent, but this is the book we used in my graduate German Syntax class at UT in 1992.

To make our language more interesting.  Other languages have them too.  In Spanish they are called "dichos" I believe.

THE is spelled different ways in spanish:\n\nEl = (masculine, singular)\nLa=  (feminine, singular)\nLos= ( masculine, plural)\nLas = (feminine , plural)\n\nThe second word (subject) decides which one of this to use, for example :\n\nEl burro (the donkey) \nBurro is a masculine word and we are talking about just one burro , so we use EL. \n\nLa vaca (the cow) \nVaca is a feminine word and we are talking about just one cow (vaca), this means is singular, so we use LA. \n\nLos burros (the donkeys)\nNotice is a plural word but it is still masculine (male) word. \n\nLas vacas ( the cows)\nNotice the plural, it is still a feminine (female) word.\n\nTHE doesn't mean LE or LO. Where did you get that from, you guys?.

i think it's "Quiero ser una estrella famosa" because on the other one, the word "que" without an accent mark means "that" and i think "sea" is the imperfect form of the verb "ser" meaning "to be" and together, i don't think it really makes sense.  The first one means exactly what you said: I want to be a famous star.
