Let\u00b4s see first if you know what these Spanish phrases using Ser and Estar mean:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ser verde<br \/>\nEstar verde<br \/>\nSer abierto<br \/>\nEstar abierto<br \/>\nSer listo<br \/>\nEstar listo<br \/>\nSer rico<br \/>\nEstar rico<br \/>\nSer negro<br \/>\nEstar negro<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Now from English to Spanish. Think carefully if you should use Ser or Estar:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be open<br \/>\nTo be intelligent or clever<br \/>\nTo be closed<br \/>\nTo be tasty (food) \/ to be attractive (people\/colloquial)<br \/>\nTo be introverted<br \/>\nTo be good (quality of objects\/personality of people)<br \/>\nTo be extroverted and sociable<br \/>\nTo be ready<br \/>\nTo be rich (people)<br \/>\nTo be simple\/clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Do you understand these sentences in Spanish?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Estoy lista para ir al cine.<br \/>\nEsta pel\u00edcula es muy mala.<br \/>\nNo puedo ir a trabajar porque estoy malo.<br \/>\nLa paella est\u00e1 muy buena<br \/>\nAntonio es un chico muy abierto.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Now I will say the same sentence twice &#8211; one time with Ser and one with Estar &#8211; and I would like you to tell me which option is correct:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Esta comida es muy rica \/ Esta comida est\u00e1 muy rica<br \/>\nLa ventana es abierta \/  La ventana est\u00e1 abierta<br \/>\nEsta manzana es mala \/ Esta manzana est\u00e1 mala<br \/>\nCarlos es cerrado \/ Carlos est\u00e1 cerrado<br \/>\nLa camiseta es verde \/ La camiseta est\u00e1 verde<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, please translate the following sentences from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My sister is very extroverted.<br \/>\nEverything is clear.<br \/>\nThese tomatoes are unripe.<br \/>\nCarmen is very angry.<br \/>\nAna is very clever.<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por hoy. <\/p>\n<p>Understanding perfectly and choosing when to use Ser or Estar with adjectives is always tricky, especially when both Ser and Estar can accompany a particular adjective and change its meaning completely as we have seen in this lesson. If you cannot remember well which verb to use in each case, I recommend that you go back and watch the original video lesson on this topic until you are more confident. <\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta luego!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
