Remember these key phrases:

1.) ¿Cómo estás? = How are you

--------> estoy bien = I'm good

-------->estoy así así = I'm so-so

--------> estoy mal = I'm bad

--------> ¿Y tú? = And you?

2.) Buenos días = Good morning

3.) Buenas tardes = Good afternoon

4.) Buenas noches = Good night

5.) Adiós = Goodbye

6.) Hasta luego = See you later

7.) ¿Cómo te llamas? = What's your name?

--------> Me llamo = My name is

Remember, infinitives are VERBS.

They ALWAYS end in the letters -ar, -er, or -ir.

Most often they mean "TO do something". They are the most BASIC form of a verb, and are not often used in a sentence UNLESS they are paired with another verb, like "gustar".

---> Ex: Hablar - TO talk

---> Ex: Comer - TO eat

---> Ex: Compartir - TO share

Remember some key concepts with gustar and encantar.

Both of these ALWAYS NEED AN IOP!

Your IOPs are Me, Te, Le, Nos, *Os*, and Les

You cannot separate the IOP and the verb gustar or encantar.

-----> If you are putting a no in there, it has to go in front of the IOP

You also have to conjugate gustar or encantar to either gusta/encanta or gustan/encantan.

If you are including a name or subject pronoun, you have to put the personal "A" in front of the name/subject pronoun, and you STILL NEED AN IOP!

-----> Ex. A ella le gusta... or A Emma le gusta

The verb "ser" is one of the 2 ways of saying "to be" and is used to describe people.

Soy = I am, Eres = you are, Es = he/she is

Remember, when using adjectives though, they have to match the noun in gender and number.

If you are describing a girl, or a feminine object, you have to use a feminine adjective.

----> Chica talentosa = talented girl

----> Chico talentoso - talented boy.

They also have to match in number.

----> Chicas talentosas = talented girls

----> chicos talentosos = talented boys.

And last but not least, don't forget that adjectives usually come AFTER the noun!

Estar is the other way to say "to be" it is used to describe locations and how you're feeling.

estoy = I am, estás = you are, está = he/she/it is, estamos = we are, están = they/you all are

Just like adjectives have to agree in gender and number, articles do too! There are 4 different ways to say "the", 2 ways to say "a/an" and 2 ways to say "some"!

The = El, la, los, las

A/an = un, una,

Some = unos, unas

The boy = el chico vs. the girl = la chica

A boy = un chico vs. some boys = unos chicos
