SPAN 3051 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Regular And Irregular Verbs, Spanish Grammar
Document Summary
These notes on spanish grammar cover the verb "ser" (to be) and are accompanied by a video and interactive exercises. The spanish verb ser is used, for example, to describe people. We use it to express someone"s name, personality, appearance, nationality. Unlike english, it has six different forms, one for each pronoun. It is important to differentiate it from the verb estar. Both verbs are translated as the verb "to be" in english, but ser is more permanent than estar. When we talk about or describe someone, we use the verb ser: Verb form soy eres es somos sois son. Use "yo" to talk about ourselves: yo soy gimena. Use "t " to talk to another person, like "you" in english. Use " l" to talk about men and boys, like "he" in english. Use "ella" to talk about women and girls, like "she". In spain, use "vosotros" to speak to more than one person informally.
