Once you're familiar with making sentences using somos and estamos to make sentences meaning we are ..., then making sentences that mean they are ... is fairly straightforward. You just need to change the form of ser or estar:
Verb | they form | Example |
---|---|---|
ser | son | son ingleses they're English (masc) son inglesas they're English (fem) |
estar | están | están cansados they're tired (masc) están cansadas they're tired (fem) |
Notice that these verb forms both end in -n. In fact, the "they" form of every Spanish verb, in every tense, ends in -n.
Now we'll add they are forms to the practice sentences. In this exercise, you'll be asked for a mixture of they are forms, plus the other forms you've been practising up to now. So it's worth spending a good few minutes on this exercise, to revise everything you've been learning in this tutorial.
Now we need to look at how to say you are ... in the plural.
