The verb to be, I

don’t know what it is, and you?

Wait a minute,

mmm… I think… is

something to eat

No, no, no fools twins.

The verb “to be” in Spanish means “ser o

estar”

“Ser”??? “Estar”???

Yes. To “ser” I can say: I Am the president.

To “estar” I can say: I am tired.

But you must to know that "am" is a form of

verb to be.The present of the verb to be has three forms:

“Am, Is, Are”.

Each form of the verb to be is conjugated

according the personal

pronoun, do you know them?

Yes, yes, the presonal pronouns

are …I

WeThey

Then …I AM (YO SOY, YO ESTOY)YOU ARE (TU ERES, TU ESTAS; USTEDES SON, USTEDES ESTAN)HE IS (EL ES, EL ESTA)SHE IS (ELLA ES , ELLA ESTA)IT IS (ES , ESTA; COSA O ANIMAL)WE ARE (NOSOTROS SOMOS, NOSOTROS ESTAMOS)THEY ARE (ELLOS{AS} SON, ELLOS{AS} ESTAN)

WWOOWW!!!

There are three basic types of sentences: Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative. Their structure are:Affirmative: (Subject / Noun) + (To Be) + (complement).Negative: (Subject / Noun) + (To Be) + (not) + (complement).Interrogative: (To Be) + (subject / Noun) + (complement)?
