Respuesta: These notes on Spanish grammar cover how to use the verb 'SER' (to be) and are accompanied by a video and interactive exercises. For SER in the past tense please click on the link at the bottom of the page.
The Spanish verb SER means "to be". But there are two verbs meaning "to be" in Spanish - SER and ESTAR.
SER is used primarily in situations to imply permanence, equivalence, characteristics, origin, nature, identity and possession ("My apple IS bigger than his", "Quito IS in Ecuador", "Ice IS cold", "He IS French", "This car IS mine".
Explicación:In general terms, "ser" is used to refer to facts and characteristics and "estar" is used to describe perceptions and opinions, but the use of the two verbs is much more complex than it seems at first glance and each one has uses specific and special needs to be learned.
