Let's start forming weird, complex sentences in Spanish.

Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

I'm Timothy, and this is Learncraft Spanish.

Today we're going to work on some of the wild and crazy ways that CER can be used, not just simply to link

two parts of a sentence together, but in many ways beyond that. This is important because

think back to that imaginary conversation that we visualized in episode 16. In a perfect

Spanish conversation with a native speaker, you're going to spend a lot of time

talking about what something is or who someone is. And this won't just happen in the simple

sentence templates we've talked about. You'll use ser pretty much any time you'd describe

what something is or who someone is.

Let's practice some more ways you can do this so that when the time comes to have that

conversation, you can express yourself freely.

And for each of these new sentence templates, try to imagine some ways that you yourself

might customize them with your own meaning

in that conversation. Okay, so so far we've been using conjugations of ser to link two parts of

a sentence. Usually we have some kind of noun both before and after the ser conjugation,

although sometimes we can use certain prepositions such as de and por and para when they're used to indicate what something is.

Here are some quick examples.

The girl is my friend.

La Chica is my amiga.

La Chica is my amiga.

That was that.
