Since we said 'la oficina' and 'la clase' we knowthat

office and class take up feminine forms in Spanish

Hence, we used the feminine form of 'the' or 'la'

27/58

Why did we use Estar?

We used estar and not ser in thelast sentence (How are you = Cmo ests?) as

How

are you refers to a temporary situation, meaning:

how are you right now?

to a temporary situation, meaning, I am fineright now

How are you (inf.)? Cmo ests?

How are you (formal)? Cmo est usted?

I am fine Estoy bien


33/58

Making small talk

Personal pronoun : Yo (I)Form of Poder(o->ue) :Puedo

Can I smoke?

Puedo fumar?


34/58

Grammar tip

Did you notice that in the last sentence, the verbTo smoke = Fumardid not change its form?

This is because we already conjugated (changedform) the verb Can = Poder (o->ue)

I can =PuedoI can smoke =Puedo fumar

Hence, Can I smoke = Puedo fumar?


35/58

Making small talk

Personal pronoun :3rd personForm of estar :Est

Dnde est el bao?

Since we said'el bao'we know that toilet or bao

takes up masculine form in Spanish

Where is the toilet? Dnde est el bao?

Another common question which we can ask while

making small talk is asking someone's birthday


45/58


46/58

Birthday = Cumpleaos is loosely derived from

Cumple (koompl-e) = meet/ complyAos (aa-ny-osh) = years old

Loosely meaning to comply with being anotheryear old


47/58

Making small talk

Your (informal) = Tu

When is your birthday?

Cundo es tu cumpleaos?
