| Soy... |
| I am... |
| You can use this pattern when you are stating a permanent or lasting characteristic. |
| In this form, the verb ""to be"" can't be used with adjectives or |
| nouns to talk about a temporary state or location. |
| For example, ""I am hungry."" |
| You can say, ""Soy doctor,"" which means, ""I am a doctor."" |
| ¿De dónde...? |

| Yo vivo en..., en... |
| I live in..., in... |
| Using this pattern, you can say, |
| Yo vivo en Chihuahua, en México, which means, |
| I live in Chihuahua, in Mexico. |
| With this pattern, you first talk about a large place such as |
| a country or state, and then specify a smaller location, |
| like a district or a city. |
| Yo... en... |
| I... in... |
| With this pattern, you can say that you do an action in a certain place. |
| For example, you can say, ""Yo enseño en la universidad,"" to mean, |
| I teach in the university. |
| ¿Tú...? |
| Do you...? |
| Use this when you want to ask if someone does something. |
| Using this pattern, you can say, ""¿Tú cantas ópera?"" |
| meaning, ""Do you sing opera?"" |
| Me gusta... |
| I like to... |
| With this phrase, you can say what you like to do. |
| For example, you can say, ""Me gusta cocinar comida mexicana,"" meaning, |
| I like to cook Mexican food. |
| That's all for today. |
