Ser
![]() The irregular verb ‘ser‘, meaning ‘to be’, is the most frequently used verb in the Spanish language. It is a confusing verb to say the least as it is one of two verbs in Spanish that mean ‘to be’, the other being ‘estar’. In English, both ‘ser’ and ‘estar’ may well have the same meaning but each of them are very distinctive verbs but even though this is the case it can be very hard to explain one without making reference to the other and for newcomers to the Spanish language, the confusion about the choice of using ‘ser’ or ‘estar’ is almost inevitable to begin with! Here we have a basic conjugation of the verb ‘ser’ in the present tense only. (For a complete and printable conjugation sheet, click on the image on the left or here) Yo soy I am Tú eres You are (familiar) Él es He is Ella es She is Nosotros somos We are Vosotros sois You are Ellos son They are ‘Ser’ is used to explain the following: 1.

In my dictionary, in the section of Conjugation of Spanish Verbs on page xi, there's:
77 ser: IND soy, eres, es, somos, sois, son; SUBJ sea, seas, sea, seamos, seáis, sean; PRET fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos, fuisteis, fueron; IMPF era, eras, era, éramos, erais, eran; IMPER sé; PRP siendo; PP sido soy, eres, es are for the first, second, third singular and somos, sois, son are for the first, 2nd, 3rd plural, respectively. It should be kept in mind that "Usted" and "Ustedes" should be regarded as the THIRD person, so they are followed by es and son, respectively, instead of eres and sois. |
