Some vocab….

WE watched a video with some examples….

Es de algodón – it is cotton – we use Ser for something´s material

Es increíble

¿Cuánto es? – we use Ser for prices

Son ocho personas – there are 8 people

¿Dónde es la fiesta? – we use Ser to talk about the location of an event.

Estar

No está mal – it’s not bad

Está bien – in Spanish we use this normally to talk about if something is good in general

La comida está buena

La carne está rica – We use Estar to talk about how good or bad a particular food is in the moment

La montaña está blanca – the mountain is temporarily white, as the snow will melt

 

We then went on to revise Estar + gerundio – estoy haciendo…

To talk about what is happening now, we use

Estar

-ando / -iendo


Mi hermana está viendo la tele

Mi hija está haciendo los deberes

There are some slightly irregular gerunds (the -ando/-iendo form)
