ESTAR - TO BE

Use to talk about:

Health

State of Being

Right now, we're all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

(We'll learn the other stuff after this!)

YO ESTOY

I am (in/at a place)

Tú estás

You (fam.) are (in/at a place)

Ud., Ella, Él está

You (form.) are, She, He is (in/at a place)

(Está by itself means "it is" -

like, "the pencil (it) is on the table.")

Nosotros/Nosotras estamos

We are (in/at a place)

Uds., Ellas, Ellos están

Y'all, They (f.), They (m.) are

(Están by itself can refer to things -

like, "The pencils (they) are on the table.)

Multiple Choice

Let's practice:

What does (yo) estoy mean?

I go (to a place)

I am (in/at a place)

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

How do you say "You (fam.) are (in a place)?

DON'T CONFUSE THIS WITH SER!!

Ser is used to talk about where people are FROM - Their origin. (where they were BORN)
Estar is used to talk about where people/things are LOCATED NOW.
They both mean "to be"
When conjugated, they both mean "I am, You are, She is, He is, We are, They are, Y'all are."
So, you have to know the SITUATION - origin or location, to pick the right verb! They're NOT interchangeable. :)
