How to Conjugate Ser

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Conjugate "ser" in the present indicative.

   Use the present indicative when stating a fact or state of being that is currently happening.Example: "I am a woman," Soy una mujer. yo: soy tú: eres él/ella/usted: es nosotros/-as: somos vosotros/-as: sois ellos/ellas/ustedes: son , Use the preterit indicative form of "ser" when stating a concrete fact or state of being that once once, but has since been complete or come to a definite end.
   
   Example: "I was rich," Fui rico. yo: fui tú: fuiste él/ella/usted: fue nosotros/-as: fuimos vosotros/-as: fuisteis ellos/ellas/ustedes: fueron , The imperfect indicative form of "ser" should be used to describe a concrete fact or state of being that had no definite end.
   
   This implies that the state of being may still be true in the present.
   
   Example: "I used to be poor," Yo era pobre. yo: era tú: eras él/ella/usted: era nosotros/-as: éramos vosotros/-as: erais ellos/ellas/ustedes: eran , The conditional indicative should be used to describe a concrete state of being that will definitely be, as long as another condition is true.
   
   Example: "I would be rich if I sold this product," Yo sería rico si vendiera / vendiese este producto. yo: sería tú: serías él/ella/usted: sería nosotros/-as: seríamos vosotros/-as: seríais ellos/ellas/ustedes: serían , The future indicative form of "ser" describes a concrete state of being that will definitely exist in the future.
   
   Example: "I will be married," Seré casado. yo: seré tú: serás él/ella/usted: será nosotros/-as: seremos vosotros/-as: seréis ellos/ellas/ustedes: serán
