  1. SER and ESTAR “to be”

  2. SER = TO BE • When we speak English, we are constantly conjugating verbs. • Conjugating means changing the form of the verb to fit with the subject.

  3. SER = TO BE • So when you want to use “I” as your subject and want to use “to be” as the verb, you say “I am.”

  4. SER = TO BE • In English, “To Be” is conjugated in this way  • In English, you are changing the verb each time depending on the subject. • SAME WITH SPANISH! 

  5. SER = TO BE • First, it is important to know the subjects in English.

  6. SER = TO BE • Then, it is important to know the subjects in Spanish.

  7. To Run

  8. SER = TO BE • “Ser” changes its form based on its subject. • Remember “Soy de Richboro.”….

  9. SER = TO BE

  10. SER = TO BE • So, what does “Soy de Richboro” mean? I am from Richboro What does “Eres de Richboro” mean? You are from Richboro. What does “Somos de Richboro” mean? We are from Richboro.

  11. ESTAR = to be • For now, you simply need to know that SER is for more permanent things, and ESTAR is for things that change, like location and feelings.

  12. Práctica 1. “I am from Pennsylvania.” ____________________________. 2.“We are from Council Rock.” ____________________________. 3. “Where are you from?” _______________________________. 4. “Where are they from?” ________________________________

  13. Práctica • “I am from Pennsylvania.” Yo soy de Pensilvania 2.“We are from Council Rock.” Nosotrossomos de Council Rock. 3. “Where are you from?” ¿De dóndeerestú? 4. “Where are they from?” ¿De dónde son (ellos)?

  14. AGUAS! (careful) • What if your subject does not specifically say yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros, or ellos, ellas, ustedes?!?!?!?! • you must consider what the subject is. For example, if you want to say Juan is tall, you must think of Juan as being “He,” and use the “he” form, because it is third person singular.

  15. AGUAS! (Careful) • So you would say “Juan es alto.” • “es” is the third person singular form of SER.

  16. AGUAS! (Careful) • What does “we” mean? It means “he and I” or “you and I” or “they and I.” • So if you ever see something like “Ellos y yo” or “Tú y yo” or “Carla y yo”, what form should you use? The “We” form!

  17. AGUAS! (Careful) • So “You and I are from Richboro” would be Tú y yosomos de Richboro.” • “somos” is the “we” form of SER.

  22. ESTAR • But now that you know how to conjugate SER, let’s see how you do with ESTAR!!!

  23. ESTAR • The subjects do not change.

  24. ESTAR • However, the formation is a bit different.

  25. ESTAR • You already have heard one form of “ESTAR.” • Do you remember what it is?

  26. ESTAR • Oh, Sí! “¿Cómo estás?” • That means “How are you?” • Estás is the “tú” form, which is “you,”so the question is finding out how “you are / are you.”

  27. ESTAR

  28. ESTAR Based on the chart: • How would you say, “I am fine, thanks.” • How would you say, “We are fine.” • How would you say, “Are you okay?” • How would you say, “You are doing so-so.”

  29. AGUAS! (careful) • What if your subject does not specifically say yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros, or ellos, ellas, ustedes?!?!?!?! • you must consider what the subject is. For example, if you want to say Juan is here, you must think of Juan as being “He,” and use the “he” form, because it is third person singular.

  30. AGUAS! (Careful) • So you would say “Juan está aquí.” • Same thing with SER: “Juan es de México,” because “es” is the third person singular form of SER.

  31. AGUAS! (Careful) • What does “we” mean? It means “he and I” or “you and I” or “they and I.” • So if you ever see something like “Ellos y yo” or “Tú y yo” or “Carla y yo”, what form should you use? The “We” form!

  32. AGUAS! (Careful) • So “You and I are here” would be Tú y yo estamos aquí.” • Same thing with SER: “You and I are from Richboro” would be “Tú y yo somos de Richboro,” because “somos” is the “we” form of SER.

  33. So then….. • What form would you use for the subject “Gabriella?”

  34. él/ ella/ Usted! Gabriella ______(ser) bonita.

  35. Gabriella es bonita.

  36. What about ……. • Tú y yo __________(Estar) enfermos.

  37. It means “you and I” which equals “we” which makes us go to… • ESTAMOS! • Tú y yo estamos enfermos.
