Ser & Estar
Ser and estar can both be translated as "to be." 1. In English, the verb "to be" can be used to tell how something is (the condition) and what something is (the essence). How is the apple? What color is the apple? It is unripe. It is green. 2. In Spanish, a different verb is used to express "to be" depending on whether the speaker intends to address a condition or an essential quality. La manzana está verde. La manzana es verde. The apple is green. (condition) The apple is green. (essence) 3. To address condition, use estar. Estar is an irregular verb. It does not follow the standard rules of conjugation for regular -ar verbs. Therefore, you must memorize it. Estar = estoy / estás / está / estamos / estáis / están 4. To address an essential quality, use ser. Ser is also irregular and must be memorized. Ser = soy / eres / es / somos / sois / son 5. If you are talking about what something is, use ser; if you are talking about how something is, use estar. What is she like? How is she acting? She is quiet. She is being quiet. Use ser: Use estar: Ella es callada. Ella está callada.
Soler & Poder
SOLER is a stem-changing verb (O > UE) meaning ‘to be used to’ or ‘usually’. yo SUELO tú SUELES él/ella/usted SUELE nosotros SOLEMOS vosotros SOLÉIS ellos/ellas/ustedes SUELEN PODER is also a stem-changing verb (O > UE). It means ‘to be able to’. yo PUEDO tú PUEDES él/ella/usted PUEDE nosotros PODEMOS vosotros PODÉIS ellos/ellas/ustedes PUEDEN Both SOLER and PODER can be used in another way. You can put se in front of the él/ella/usted part of the verb to mean 'one' or 'people/you' in general. Por ejemplo: se puede ir al cine You/one/people can go to the cinema Both SOLER and PODER are followed by the infinitive of the verb.
