Uses of ser (9) versus uses of estar (6)

(Both mean "to be", but they have different purposes.)




ser: nationality, origin, occupation, characteristics of people and things, generalizations, possesion, what something is made of, time / date, when / where an event occurs. *think: permanent, cannot change




estar: location / spatial relationships, health, physical state, emotional state, certain weather expressions, ongoing actions (progressive tenses, i.e. She is sleeping. ) *think: temporary, can change



ser and estar with adjectives

With many adjectives, both ser and estar can be used, but the meaning changes.



ser: statements with ser describe inherent (permanent) qualities (personality).


-ex: Juan es nervioso. ( Juan is a nervous person)






estar: estar describes temporary and changing feelings (emotions).


-ex: Juan esta nervioso hoy. ( Juan is nervous today.)




*The meaning of some adjs. changes completely depending on whether they are used with ser or estar. (think of context.. is vs. is feeling)


-ex: La profesora es mala. (The profesor is bad. ) versus.. La profesora esta mala. (The profesor is feeling bad / sick)




* object + ser seguro = to be safe


-ex: El ascensor es seguro. (The elevator is safe.)

direct object nouns and pronouns: purposes*

-A direct object noun receives the action of the verb directly and generally follows the verb.




-example:


¿Que esta ella leyendo? (What is she reading?)


Ella + esta leyendo = un libro


(subject + verb = direct object noun)




*The direct object noun answers the question.


-------------------------------------------------------------------


-Direct object pronouns replace direct object nouns.. (D.O. > D.O.P)




*Like English, Spanish sometimes uses a direct object pronoun to avoid repetition.


-example:


Maribel hace las maletas -> Maribel las hace.


(Maribel is packing -> Maribel packs them.)


-example: Vicky tiene la llave -> Vicky la tiene


(Vicky has the key -> Vicky has it)



direct object nouns and pronouns: personal a

*personal a: When a direct object noun is a person or a pet, it is preceded by the word a. There is no English equivalent but (think: serves purpose of "dear". may be an article for endearment / importance. Used when you have personal feelings toward someone or something. It is not used for things which no emotions are felt i.e. milk - insignificant, giraffe - not your pet)

-ex: Marta busca a su perro Lucas.


(Marta is looking for her dog, Lucas.)




-ex: Escucho al professor.


(I am listening to the professor.)

direct object pronouns: singular (me, you, him, her) (4)

singular forms


---------------------


me -> me


te -> you


lo -> you / him


la -> you / her



direct object pronouns: plural (us, you, them) (4)

plural forms


-----------------


nos -> us


os -> you (m/f)


los -> you / them (m)


las -> you / them (f)



direct object pronouns: uses

-It is common to use the direct object pronoun when the direct object noun has been mentioned before.


-ex: ¿Quieres a tu madre? (Do you love your mother?)




Si, la quiero mucho. (Yes, I love her very much.)

estar: certain weather epressions

-ex: Esta nublado. (It is cloudy)

direct object pronouns: how to use with present progressive and infinitive (ir a + [infinitive])..*

-the direct object pronoun can be attached to the present participle / infinitive.




-examples:


Laura las esta escribiendo -> Laura esta escribiendolas


(Laura is writing -> Laura is writing them) (present progressive)




Lo vamos a hacer -> Vamos a hacerlo


(What we will do -> Let's do it) ir a + [inf.]




Las va a confirmar -> Va a confirmarlas


(I will go to confirm it -> You will do to confirm it)


*what was done: taken from in front of conj. verb and placed at the end of the present progressive / infinitive.




direct object pronouns: how to use in affirmative sentences and questions (positive / negation)

-Direct object pronouns generally appear before the conjugated verb.


-In negative sentences / questions, the pronoun is placed between the word no and the verb.




-examples: positive -> negation


Katia las tiene -> Katia no las tiene


(Katia has them -> Katia does not have them)




¿Lo quieres? -> No lo quieres


(Do you want it? -> No, I do not want it)
