Well, as I said, today we are going to speak about personal pronouns in Portuguese and verb “ser”. You will learn how to combine one of the most important verbs in that language. Once you do that, everything will start to get easier on your Portuguese learning process.
In English, we say : I am, you are, he is, she is, it is – Then we keep saying we are , you are, and they are , right? In Brazilian portuguese language we say: eu sou, você é, ele é (masculine), ela é (feminine). Then, to the plural, we keep saying: Nós somos, vocês são, eles são (masculine) or elas são (feminine).
