In this section you will learn about the household using the verb estar<\/em> with prepositions of place.<\/p>\nPrepositions are relation words; they can indicate location, time, or other more abstract relationships. “Under,” “over,” “in,” “on,” and “behind” are all prepositions of place. Follow this link to learn more about prepositions (in English)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
In Unidad 1 you briefly learned the verb estar<\/em> in questions like \u201c\u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?\u201d to ask \u201cHow are you?\u201d. In this unit we will use the verb to describe the location of things in a household and further conjugate the verb. Something very important that seems to always get left out are the \u201ctildes\u201d or diacritical marks in Spanish. You may have noticed that unlike English, Spanish has a variety of accent marks for their vowels (\u00e1, \u00e9, \u00ed, \u00f3, \u00fa, \u00fc) and one for the \u00f1. Accent marks are important for pronunciation as well as distinguishing the meaning of one word from another. You will notice when we conjugate estar<\/em>\u00a0there is always an accent mark on the \u201ca\u201d except for the nosotros<\/em> form, and this reflects the different pronunciation of the conjugated verb, as opposed to the word \u201cthis.\u201d For example: Marta est\u00e1<\/strong> aqu\u00ed. (Marta is here.) Esta<\/strong> es Marta. (This is Marta). As you can see these words look the same but a single \u201ctilde\u201d changes the entire meaning from the verb \u201cis\u201d to \u201cthis.\u201d Here are some other words that change meaning when you do not include an accent mark:<\/p>\n
