ÍNDICE
We do the same in Spanish: Sarah es mi mejor amiga. Sarah es increíble. Sarah is my mejor amiga. Ella es increíble.
It sounds repetitive, so we change Sarah -> She.
We use pronouns to avoid repetition in a sentence. For example: Sarah is my best friend. Sarah is amazing. Sarah is my best friend. She is amazing
PRONOUNS
PRONOUNS IN SPANISH
We use verb BE to describe characteristics. In spanish the verb is SER and it is irregular. We must memorize it. In this unit we used it to describe people.
VERB TO BE
serio = serious
Él es serio.
He is serious.
Rubia = blond
We use the verb SER before the adjective.
Ella es rubia.
She is blonde.
Adjectives are describing words. We use them to describe nouns (things, people, places, objects, etc).
ADJECTIVES
Rubia = blond
Ellos son serios.
They are serious.
Rubia = blond
Ellas son rubias.
They are blonde.
There is something called "concordancia" (agreement in English). It means that in Spanish, we have to match the gender and number of nouns with adjectives.
CONCORDANCIA
If the adjective ends in E, then we don't need to change it for masculine or singular. Fuerte = strong We add an S for plurals.Fuerte = fuertes
For example: SERIO (which. means serious)
To make the agreement in adjectives, we need to match GENDER AND NUMBER. We take as a base MASCULINE SINGULAR NOUNS (that finish in O)
CONCORDANCIA
Here you have some adjectives. You can find more in the next slide.
To describe personality, we use the verb SER and we add the adjective (please remember agreement)
