¡REPASO!

Describing a person or thing in Spanish is very similar to describing a person or thing in English

Elena is tall Elena es alta (noun/adjective agreement!)

Victor is lazy Victor es perezoso

Roberto is smart Roberto es inteligente

NOW let’s talk about how to describe using other subject pronouns….

THE VERB SER

You see- the word ES is actually the él/ella/usted conjugation of the verb ser. Ser is an irregular verb, which means it doesn’t follow the same conjugation pattern as other verbs (like the –ar verbs we talked about last unit).

Ser means “to be” and here is how we use it

THE VERB SERYo soy inteligente

Tú eres inteligente

É/ella/usted es inteligente

Nosotros somos inteligente

Ellos son inteligente

ESCRIBEN…

2. Ellos _____ divertidos.

3. La clase _____ aburrida.
