#10- Estar with Conditions and Emotions

Standard 1.2: Students understand and interpret written and spoken language on a variety of topics. Essential Question: How is ESTAR conjugated and what are its different uses?

You already know… that ESTAR is used to talk about temporary information, such as where people, places, and things are located

Examples Yo estoy en Hemet. Él está triste. Yo estoy en mi clase. Ustedes están muy alegres. (Location) (Feelings.) (Location) (Feelings)

Estar (to be) estoy estamos estás X está están

Use Estar… with adjectives to describe the physical condition of places and things with adjectives to describe how people feel, both mentally and physically

Examples La habitación está sucia. La puerta está cerrada. Yo estoy cansada. Yo estoy en mi clase. Ustedes están muy alegres. Él está de buen humor. Yo estoy de mal humor. (physical condition) (physical condition.) (Feeling) (Location) (Feelings) (Feelings) (Feelings)

Remember:Adjective/Gender Agreement Remember:Adjective/Gender Agreement *All adjectives have to agree in gender and number with the noun they are describing* Remember this concept? Gender Agreement -Ella está preocupada Number Agreement-if the noun is plural the adjective has to be plural -Nosotros estamos aburridos

Adjectives that don’t have gender- Adjectives that don’t have gender- *These adjectives don’t change according to the gender of a noun, but they still change with number alegre Alegres triste tristes feliz felices amable amables

¡Atención! Two important expressions with estar that you can use to talk about conditions and emotions are: estar de buen humor (to be in a good mood) estar de mal humor (to be in a bad mood) Ejemplo: Dora la Explorada está de buen humor
