To indicate age:In Spanish, to refer to age we use the verb "tener" as in "I am 20 years old." However, in English, to refer to age we do not use the verb "tener" but rather the verb "TO BE." Example: She is 20 years old / Ella tiene 20 años
The verb "To be" is one of the few verbs that changes depending on the pronoun it's conjugated with. That's why it's so important to know and learn the personal pronouns.
3 things you should know: 1. I/Vo is always written in CAPITALS, regardless of the part of speech it's in. 2. It/Ello is a pronoun used to refer to subjects other than human beings, for example, inanimate objects. It also doesn't have a plural. 3. You applies to both tú and vosotros; and is written the same way for plural and singular.
Now, let's analyze the structure and conjugation of the verb TO BE. This is the structure for affirmative sentences or Affirmative Form.
Veamos algunos ejemplos: I am a teacher. Yo soy un profesor. You are my friend. Tú eres mi amigo. He is an excellent soccer player. Él es un excelente jugador de fútbol. She is very good at math. Ella es muy buena en matemáticas. It is a cup of coffee. Eso es una laza de café. We are at the park. Nosotros estamos en el parque. They are with their friends. Ellos están con sus amigos.
- Negative form / Forma negativa:
.It's the one we use when we want to deny something. To form it, add not, which is the English translation of no. Ejemplos: (No soy un estudiante.) You are not a lawyer. Tú no eres un abogado. She is not in New York. Ella no está en Nueva York. We are not a couple. Nosotros no somos una pareja.
Interrogative form / Forma interrogativa:To use the verb to be when asking a question, you must write the verb before the pronoun:
Ejemplos: Is he a photographer? ¿Él es un fotógrafo? o ¿Es él un fotógrafo? Are they friends? ¿Ellos son amigos? o ¿Son ellos amigos? Is my name on the list? ¿Está mi nombre en la lista?
