A couple of lessons ago, we mentioned that there are two verbs for "to be" in Spanish-'ser' and 'estar'
In this lesson, we will focus on 'estar'
First, let's look at how to conjugate 'estar'. It's an irregular verb, so you'll have to memorize the different forms:
Yo estoy - I am
Tú estás - You are
Él, ella o usted está - He or she is, or you are
Nosotros estamos - We are
Ellos, ellas, o ustedes están - they or you all are
Note the placement of the accent in estás, está, y están. It's important to remember the accent because there are other words that are spelled identically but have a different meaning.
