Grammar Concept:

The verb "to be":  The verb "to be" is important in both Spanish and English.  Through this unit, we will be learning the various forms of the verb:

• I am = yo soy
• you are = tú eres
• he is = él es
• she is = ella es
• they are = ellos son
• to be = ser (used in a phrase like "quiere ser" - he/she wants to be)

Review:  When you want to make a phrase with "quiere" or "puede" or "necesita," you have to add an "r" to the end of the he/she form of the verb.

• cocina - he/she cooks
• cocinar - to cook
• quiere cocinar - he/she wants to cook
• puede cocinar - he/she is able to cook
