Spanish Lesson 1

Spanish Word Of The Day

This section is dedicated to those who want to learn Spanish. So, let's begin! The first two main verbs – ser and estar. They are both used to describe a situation, fact, or something else of a general characteristic. The verb ser is equal to English to be, and estar is equal to English to be in continuous form, that means – ser is used to express constant qualities, and estar – temporary. For example, I am a student – Soy estudiante; and I am being angry (right now) – Estoy malo.

Look at the conjugation in present, as they are both irregular:

I soy estoy We somos estamos

You eres estás You sois estáis

He, she,it es está They son están


Don't forget to write the graphical accent! If you don't, you verb will be a demonstrative pronoun!

Next time we'll talk about their uses!
