NOTES ABOUT TENER AND SER
1. Remember that to describe hair and eyes you need to use the verb ‘tener’ (to
have), however you must conjugate the verb first. Use ‘tengo’ to talk about
yourself and ‘tiene’ to talk about someone else.
Example: Tengo pelo negro y largo. Tengo ojos cafés.
María tiene pelo negro y largo. María tiene ojos cafés.
2. To describe someone’s personality and physical appearance use ‘ser’ (to be)
but you also need to conjugate. Use ‘soy’ to talk about yourself and ‘es’ to talk
about someone else.
Example: Soy bonita y ambiciosa. Soy alta y morena.
Maria es bonita y ambiciosa. Maria es alta y morena.
NOTES – MAKING NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES PLURAL
1. If a noun or adjective ends with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) add ‘s’ to make it plural.
Example: ojo-----ojos verde-----verdes
2. If a noun or adjective ends with a consonant (not a vowel) add an ‘es’ to
make it plural. Example: marrón----marrones
trabajador----trabajadores
3. If a noun ends with a ‘z’, change the ‘z’ for ‘c’ and add ‘es’ Example: feliz -----felices lápiz----lápices
