SPANISH 1- Subjects+The Verb TO BE

I would like to start with something really basic ..

THE SUBJECT of the Sentence + The Verb TO BE:

In Spanish, when we refer to the verb TO BE we have two options "SER: when saying our name, characteristics or ESTAR: when talking about actions, feelings"

Eg: I am Peter (Yo SOY Peter)

I am very tall (Yo SOY muy alto)

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

I am playing football (Yo ESTOY jugando football)

She is cooking (Ella ESTA cocinando)

I am------------ Yo soy/ estoy
You are-------- Tu eres/ estas (We use "vos sos" in Argentina and in a few parts of Spain)
He is ----------- Él es/ está
She is----------- Ella es/ está
It is------------- Esto/Esta es/ está (In spanish we have female and male nouns, most of the times we add "a" in the end of a female one and an "o" in the end of a male one)
We are -------- Nosotros/Nosotras somos/ estamos (depending if we talk about female or male nouns)
You are ------- Ustedes son/ están
They are ------ Ellos/Ellas son están (depending if we talk about female or male )

EXERCISES: 

1). Ella ________________ Ruth.

2). Mi auto _________________ muy caro (very expensive).

3). Peter y Paula ___________________ amigos.

4). Mi mama ________________________ lavando la ropa. (washing clothes)

5). Su casa _____________________ linda.
