Test tomorrow and I'm kinda sketch on the "ser" verbs
its like soy eres es somos sois son.

whats the difference between eres and sois? i know that sois is plural and eres isn't but if its plural wouldn't it just be son?

ill probably have more questions later

thanks +k

eres is the tu/you form, so if i was talking about you i would say eres estupido because you are stupid. sois is the vosotros form, which is mainly used in spain, which means more of a "you all" is kinda thing.

so, eres, is just talking to someone as if you were saying "you"

if you were talkin to your buddies in spain you would use sois.

hope that helped

you all would be in what kinda form? like in a sentence. because you all would be like they right? then that would be son.

"you all" is vosotros. if they didnt teachyou it you dont need to worry about it. usually you dont need it if youre only n spanish 2.

"they" is son. its different than the vosotros form.

they are tired

is different from you all are tired.

and eres is the tu form , which means "you"

you are tired.
