Question

12. Fill the blanks with the correct present tense form of ser or estar.

Answer 1

The sentence should be looking like : “ estás tú contento hoy?”

Answer 2

For this case we can translate the sentence as:

__________you happy today?

We must fill in the blank with the correct form of the present indicative of the verb to be.

The verb "to be" in Spanish can mean two things. "Ser o Estar". Therefore, it depends on the context in which it is used, the sentence will be translated in a different way.

• "Estar" refers to places.
• "Ser" refers to the personal description and of other people.

We have that the present indicative of the third singular person is given by:

"you're" (tú estás)

Then, the sentence is completed as:

Are you happy today?

Answer:

¿Estás tú contento hoy?
