Let's polish ser and estar.

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

I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

Today we're going to use a huge quiz to practice ser and estar,

including every commonly used tense and mood,

from the imperfect to the subjunctive to the conditional.

But first, I'd like to point something out about the prepositions D and A.

So far, we've been practicing putting these before feminine nouns, such as De la Chica or A La Casa.

But we've intentionally avoided putting them before the word Lugar, which is a masculine noun.

So, for example, we haven't practiced saying to the place or from the place. The thing is, you might think that to say from the place, you should say de el-l-l-l. But in Spanish, the words de and el blend together

into one new word, del, spelled D-E-L.

Let's practice with a couple of examples.

We went from the place to the house.

We went del L-l-la-la-a-caza.

We went del Lugar to la Casa. We were at the guy's house.

We are at the guy's house.

We're in the house of the house of the chico.

We're in the

casa of
