Present tense - SER

​"SER" means "to be"

This is one of the most important verbs in Spanish. It is an irregular verb, so it does not follow a pattern or rule. We must memorise it.

​

We use SER in many occasions. For example, to describe characteristics or talk about nationalities, personal descriptions and character.​
