Questions & Answers about Este curso es muy interesante.

Why do we use "este" instead of "esto" for "this"?
We use este because it matches the masculine, singular noun curso. You only use the neutral word esto when referring to an abstract idea, a situation, or an unknown object (like asking "What is this?").
Why do we use "es" instead of "está" to say "is"?
We use es (from the verb ser) because being interesting is a core characteristic or defining quality of this specific course. The other verb for "to be", estar, is generally used for temporary states, conditions, or locations.
Why is it "muy" and not "mucho"?
Muy translates to "very" and is used right before an adjective like interesante to boost its meaning. You would use mucho (meaning "a lot" or "much") when talking about nouns or verbs.
Does the word "curso" mean "curse"?
No, curso is a false friend. It looks like the English word "curse" but actually means an academic course, a class, or a school year. If you wanted to talk about a magic curse, you would use the word maldición.
