1 To be or not to be…

2 Inglés IWe YouY´all He/She/ItThem

3 YoNosotros TúVosotros Él/Ella/UstedEllos/Ellas/ Ustedes

4 In Español, all verbs in their infinitive form en in either –ar, -er, or –ir An infinitive means that we have not yet changed (conjugated) the verb to fit the sentence

5 In Inglés, we conjugate the verb “to be” all the time without thinking about it! I amWe are You areY´all are He/She/It is They are

6 In Español, we do the same thing! Yo soyNosotros/ Nosotras somos Tú eresVosotros/ Vosotras sois Él/Ella/Usted es Ellos/Ellas/ Ustedes son

7 In English, we use the word “it” along with “he” and “she”, but in Español, “él” and “ella” also mean “it” depending on the gender of what we are talking about. Señor, I have a question… WHAT THE HECK???

8 In Español, unlike English, we do not have to state the subject all the time, because the verb is conjugated to tell us what the subject is. Ejemplo: I am a boy Soy un muchacho. The word “soy” tells us that we mean “Yo”.
