Think about English – when you are describing someone you do not say “she to be tall” , “we to be students”, “I to be rich”
How would you describe these people in English? She is tall. We are students. I am rich. In Spanish, each subject pronoun has a form of ser that matches. Check out the chart to see the matches. Subject Pronouns with SER:
You must use the form of ser that is in the box with the subject pronoun. If you do not, it will sound just as crazy as English. Vosotros soy bonitos = Y’all am pretty. So even if you are saying you are crazy, make sure you say it correctly: Tú eres loco ... NOT tú es loco. |

You can tell the correct form of ser based on the subject pronoun. You can also figure out the subject pronoun based on the form of ser. For the practice activity – figure out what would go in the blank. 1. ____ soy inteligente. 2. Señor Pepe ____ profesor. 3. Usted ____ rica. 4. ____ eres guapo. 5. Andres y Diego ____ locos. 6. ____ somos de Pennsylvania. 7. Ella ____ alta. 8. Nosotros ____ estudiantes buenos. 9. _____ sois de España. 10. Yo ____ especial. The quiz for ser and subject pronouns is very similar to this activity. Based on the information, you need to either fill in the correct subject pronoun or the correct form of ser. |
