If you want to learn to speak Spanish go to readytospeakspanish.com One verb. Three tenses. One song. This is estar — to be right now. The verb that tells you how you feel, where you are, and what is happening in this moment. Estoy. He estado. Voy a estar. I am. I was. I'm going to be. Estar is the second of the two to be verbs in Spanish. This one is for temporary things — how you feel right now, where you are right now, what is happening right now. Once this pattern is automatic — present, past, future — you can express feelings, locations, and current states without thinking. Intro One verb. Three tenses. To be right now — estar. I am — estoy. I was — he estado. I'm going to be — voy a estar. This is how you feel. Right now. Let's go.

How you feel right now. Where you are right now. What is happening right now. Not who you are permanently — that's ser. That was the last song. Cómo usar esta canción Listen to one verse at a time. Verse 1 is present. Verse 2 is past. Verse 3 is future. By the bridge all three should be running together automatically. Then try making your own sentences — estoy + how you feel right now. He estado + how you felt before. Voy a estar + how you are going to feel.
