When you talk directly to 1 person you need to pick between:

Tú (when you address a friend, family member or a child). Example-classmate.

Usted (Ud.) (when you address a person with whom you have a formal or more distant relationship). Example. Your teacher.

Multiple Choice

How do you say to your teacher: ''You are from Spain''

Multiple Choice

How do you say to your friend: ''You are from Walla Walla''

In Spain, if you talk directly with more than one person you use

Vosotros-as (when you address friends, family members or childs). Example-classmates.

Ustedes (Ud.) (when you address some people with whom you have a formal or more distant relationship). Example-Your teachers.

But good news. FORGET VOSOTROS. In Latin America, when you talk directly to more than 1 person you will always use:

Ustedes (Uds.)

There is no Spanish equivalent of the English subject pronoun it. Generally it is not expressed in Spanish.

Es un problema. It’s a problem.

Es una computadora. It’s a computer.

Present tense ''ser'' (to be)

In Spanish depending on the subject pronoun, the verb changes.

We already saw some forms of ''ser''

¿De dónde eres? ¿Where are you from?

(Yo) soy de Walla2. I am from Walla 2

(Nosotros) somos troppers. We are troopers

(Sofia-Ella) es de Walla Walla - She is from Walla Walla

Multiple Choice

Yo _______ Gonzalo.

soy

somos

Multiple Choice

Tú _______ interesante.

son

eres

Multiple Choice

Usted (Ud.) _______ una mujer.

soy

somos

Multiple Choice

Él/Ella _______ estudiante.

soy

somos

Multiple Choice

Nosotros _______ chicos.

soy

somos

Multiple Choice

Ustedes _______ interesantes.

son

eres

Multiple Choice

Ellas _______ de Walla Walla.

son

eres

When do we use ser?

1- Use ser to identify people and things.

Multiple Choice

¿Quién es él? (Who is he?)

Él es Jon Biden

Él soy Joe Biden

Multiple Choice

¿Qué es?

Es un mapa

Somos un lápiz

Es un lápiz

2- Ser also expresses possession, with the preposition de. There is no Spanish equivalent of the English construction [noun] + ’s (Maru’s). In its place, Spanish uses [noun] + de + [owner].

Multiple Choice

¿De quién es el libro? Whose is the book?

Es el libro de la chica

Son los libros de la chica

Multiple Choice

¿De quién son los libros? Whose is the book?

Es el libro de Juan

Son los libros de Juan

3-Ser also uses the preposition de to express origin.

Multiple Choice

¿De dónde eres tú?

Yo somos de Argentina

Yo soy de Argentina

Juan y yo somos de Argentina

Multiple Choice

¿De dónde es Sofia?

Sofia (ella) es de Argentina

Sofia (ella) eres de Argentina

Juan y Sofia (ellos) son de Argentina

Multiple Choice

¿De dónde son ellos?

Ellso es de Argentina

Ellos eres de Argentina

Juan y Sofia (ellos) son de Argentina

4- Use ser to express profession or occupation.

Multiple Choice

Ella _______ conductora.

soy

eres

son

Multiple Choice

María _______ conductora.

soy

eres

son

Multiple Choice

Yo _______ estudiante.

soy

eres

son

Depending on the sentence, the subject won't be a subject pronoun (yo, tú....).

And what do I do? How do I pick the correct form of ser?

Let's practice

Multiple Choice

Ella ______ de Walla Walla.

soy

eres
