Lección 2: Ser & Descriptions
• We can now use ser and our new vocabulary to describe ourselves to others.
• We use ser to describe our physical features and our personality traits.
• Below is a review of the ser chart which we already learned.
SER= To beYo soy- I am Nosotros somos- we
areTú eres- you are Vosotros sois- you areÉl es- he is Ellos son- they areElla es- she is Ellas son- they areUsted es- you are Ustedes son- they are
Lección 2: Ser & Descriptions
• Now, we can put ser and our vocabulary together to form a complete sentence which describes ourselves or other people.
• To ask somebody what they are like we say: “¿Cómo eres tú?”( informal) or
“¿Cómo es usted?” (formal)
Lección 2: Ser & Descriptions
• The formula to answer the previous question would be:
Subject pronoun + ser + description word(s)
Ex: Yo soy baja y simpatica.
*remember to always answer the question first in a yes/no question!
Lección 2: Ser & Descriptions
• Reminder- girls: you must change all of your description words which end in the letter “o” to the letter “a” to make them feminine.
• We must also add an “s” to the description words if we are describing more than 1 person!
• Any description word ending in –e, -l or –r are neutral. You do not have to change the gender of these words.
Ex: Ella es popular
Antonito es inteligente.
Lección 2: Ser & Descriptions
Más ejemplos:
EXS:
Yo soy baja y comica- I am short and funny.
Él es antipatico y inteligente- he is mean and smart.
Nosotros somos amigos- We are friends.
Tú eres tonta y estudiosa- you are silly and studious.
Ellos son altos, feos y gordos.
Lección 2: Ser & Descriptions
• To make a negative statement about yourself, all you have to do is place the word “no” before the verb ser in the sentence.
• For example, if you want to say “I am not tall” you would say: Yo no soy alta.
• You may also see sentences where the subject pronoun is dropped. This is okay to do once you feel more comfortable with using the verb.
Ex: Soy alto- I am tall (the yo is dropped)
