    okay this leads to the second lesson. the difference between ser and estar.

    ser would be something permanent, estar is temporary...

    soy misombra, estoy enferma (sick).

    i won't always be sick, but i'll always be misombra.

    for things like breathing... things with -ing in spanish end with endo, iendo, ando...

    estoy respirando= i'm breathing.

    estar=to be (temporary)

    yo estoy= i am
    tu estas= you are
    el/ella esta= he/she is
    nosotros estamos= we are
    ellos/ellas estan= they are

    You guys sound goofy. Just "soy" would work. You don't have to say "Yo soy"

    Just like with guitar. "Tocar la guitarra"

    estar means "to be." estoy means "i am."

    in spanish verbs get conjugated. in english the verbs are also conjugated...

    to be

    I am
    You are
    He is
    They are
    We are
    baby ya hustle. but me i hustle harder.

    does estar apply more to verbs and ser to adjectives?
