This week we are going to work with two verbs. Our objective is to conjugate in the present tense and differentiante between the verbs SER and Estar or WL.7.1.NH.A.8 - [Cumulative Progress Indicator] - Identify some unique linguistic elements in English and the target language.

 

As I’m sure you all remember. In Spanish there are 3 types of Verbs:

AR Verbs/ ER Verbs / IR verbs

Conjugation is easy IF you remember that the verbs all follow a basic pattern. However there are verbs that are IRREGULAR (Dun Dun duuuun)

This week we will be focusing on 2 irregular verbs that also happen to mean the SAME THING (SAY WHAAT?!?)

The first verb is an AR verb: ESTAR it means TO BE
