How do we form the absolute superlative masivísimo in this sentence?
Why is it el exoplaneta and not la exoplaneta since it ends in -a?
Just like its root word planeta (planet), exoplaneta is a masculine noun. Many Spanish words ending in -ta, -ma, or -pa that originate from Greek are masculine exceptions to the usual gender rules. This is why it uses the masculine article el and the masculine adjective masivísimo.
Why do we use será (from ser) instead of estará (from estar) to describe how violent the place is?
