in this video we are going to be going over the uses of ser and how to use it to describe people if you guys remember back Sarah is one of our two verbs that mean to be because remember we have ser and we have a star today we're focused on Sarah here are the conjugations for Ser remember there's always five forms uh and before I forget let me just cross those out because we do not use bosotros okay so for the five forms of ser yo soy I am s nosotrosomos son I'm sure you got those five down in your notes you're gonna need these LS as son if you're talking to a group of people you also say son usted son I don't know why I always mess this up um the uses of ser we have five so the main use of ser is to identify essential characteristics of people and things and these are characteristics that don't change very often they tend to stay the same over time so Guillermo del Toro famous director s intelligente creativo intelligent and creative those are temporary things those are things that tend to stay the same over time because they stay the same over time we use it with ser uh sus peliculas his movies pelicula movie right they're interesting they're not interesting right now but they're going to be boring later they're just interesting it's a permanent characteristic so we use sun and recentes uh we also use Ser to indicate profession or vocation your job doesn't change that often and so because it's kind of permanent we consider it kind of permanent we use it with ser ious he's a director right he's not going to be a waiter tomorrow why and even if he was then we would consider his permanent job to be a waiter so it's always going to be fair no matter what musico dueres doctora we also use Sarah to express nationality nationality is another one of these things that tends to stay the same over time uh Guillermo del Toro es Mexicano okay if we just want to say he's from Mexico we do what we did in the first week essay Mexico talking about time we always use Ser
