Verb to be

The verb to be is almost as "ser" and "estar" in Spanish. For a comparison, take a look at this chart:

Yo soy/estoyI am
Tu eres/estásYou are
El/ella es/estáHe/she/it is
Nosotros somos/estamosWe are
Vosotros sois/estáisYou are
Ellos/ellas son/estánThey are

(thanks to Aula Fácil)


When we speak, we use contraction forms:

I amI'm
You/we/they areYou/we/they're
He/she/it isHe/she/it's


Try to do this exercise, then check the answers in the comment section. (Exercise thanks to Eclectic English)
