Lesson Details
Key learning points
- 'Soy' means 'I am', 'es' means 'she, he, it is' when describing general traits.
- Spanish pronouns are often not used; 'es' can therefore mean 'she, he, it is' or just 'is'.
- Adverbs 'normalmente' and 'siempre' tend to come at the beginning or end of the sentence.
Common misconception
The adverbs 'normalmente' and 'siempre' always follow the English order when in a sentence.
In Spanish, adverbs tend to go at the start or end of the sentence.
