READ & LISTEN

A short conversation

Google voice when available; device voice as a fallback. Read along, then try each line aloud.

Elena

Esta es la habitación.

This is the room.

Maya

Es grande. ¿Hay una mesa?

It is large. Is there a table?

Elena

Sí, la mesa está al lado de la puerta.

Yes, the table is next to the door.

Maya

Gracias. Estoy cansada, pero estoy bien.

Thank you. I am tired, but I am well.

Choose between ser, estar, and hay

Ask yourself whether the sentence identifies something, gives a state, introduces an item, or locates a known item. That question is more useful than deciding whether something lasts a long time. A room can be large and still use es; a table’s location uses está.

Check article, noun, and adjective agreement

Say una mesa nueva and unas mesas nuevas aloud. Notice that three parts change together. Then try un libro grande and unos libros grandes: grande does not change for gender, but it does change for number.

Hay unos libros nuevos.There are some new books.
Los libros están en la mesa.The books are on the table.

Describe a room

Imagine a room and introduce two items with hay. Tell your listener where one item is. Finally, describe how the visitor feels. This short sequence connects the three lessons and gives you a practical description rather than isolated grammar forms.
