Questions & Answers about Estos objetivos son importantísimos para mañana.

Why do we use para here instead of por?

In this sentence, para is used to express a deadline. Whenever you are talking about a due date or a specific time in the future by which something must be ready (like "for tomorrow"), you will always use para.

What does the -ísimos ending on importantísimos mean?

Adding -ísimo to the end of an adjective is a common way to say "extremely" or "very, very." The base word is importante (important). We drop the final vowel and add -ísimo to get importantísimo (extremely important). It ends in -os here to match the plural, masculine noun objetivos.

Why is the word for "these" estos and not estes?

This is a very common exception to remember! Even though the singular masculine word for "this" is este (like este objetivo), the plural masculine form changes to estos (like estos objetivos). The word "estes" does not exist in Spanish.

Why use son instead of están if the deadline is tomorrow?

We use son (from the verb ser) because being "important" is considered a core characteristic or trait of these objectives. Even though they are needed for a specific time, their importance is a description of what they are, not a temporary physical state or location.
