Existence.................Existencia Life..........................Vida Being [noun]............Ser (this is a noun and a verb, as in English)I must say, I don't know if you are aware of this, I suppose you are, but in Spanish there are two different verbs for what you call "to be": SER and ESTAR. It's a bit complicated to explain when youshould use either but basically SER is something more permanent and ESTAR is more temporary (though not always). Also, (I don't know how precise you want to be) we have two pasts (or three) for this. If you want any further info, tell me exactly what do you need and I'll help you I was......................... Yo Fui / Yo estuve he was......................El fue / El estuvo they were..................Ellos fueron / Ellos estuvieron (femInine for Ellos is Ellas) I am.......................... Yo soy / Yo estoy you are.....................Tú eres / Tú estás He is.........................Él es / Él está they are.....................Ellos son / Ellos están I will be......................Yo seré / Yo estaré he will be...................Él será / Él estará they will be................ Ellos serán / Ellos estarán there was.................. Había (this is a strange verb that doesn't exist in english) there will be...............Habrá it existed..................existió (it also means she/he existed) Finally ten short sentences.
