Important Grammar Tips:

• Use ser for identity and characteristics. For example, "Ella es alta" means "She is tall."
• Use estar for feelings and locations. For example, "Él está feliz" means "He is happy."
• Remember that adjectives (describing words) have to match in gender (male or female) and number (singular or plural). For instance, "las casas grandes" means "the big houses."

By practicing these verb forms and examples, you will build a strong foundation in Spanish!
