Explanation:
In Spanish, the verbs <em>ser </em>and <em>estar </em>have very different meanings for native speakers. In English these correspond to a single verb (to be), so it is essential to learn to distinguish them correctly in Spanish.
The verb<em> ser </em>is used in Spanish in the following situations:
- inherent physical appearance or personality traits;
- permanent identity or traits (nationality, creed, etc);
- family or personal relationships;
- when or where an event takes place;
- the date, seasons and time;
- the material, the origin or the belonging of an object + preposition of;
-
The way to conjugate it in present simple is as follows:
- yo soy
- tú eres
- él es
- nos. somos
- vos. sois
- ellos son
