Why focus on Attributive Verbs in Spanish?
Hello, Super Learners,
Welcome back to Spanish Super Tutor! I’m Miguel Marina, and today we’re exploring an intriguing aspect of Spanish that plays a pivotal role in constructing meaningful and descriptive sentences. We’re diving into the world of Attributive Verbs in Spanish.
Why focus on Attributive Verbs in Spanish?
Attributive verbs, also known as linking verbs, are essential for linking the subject of a sentence to a complement that describes or provides more information about the subject. Mastering these verbs will significantly enhance your ability to describe situations, people, and emotions effectively in Spanish.
Understanding Attributive Verbs in Spanish
What are Attributive Verbs?Attributive verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the sentence with a subject complement or an adjective that describes the subject’s state or quality.
Examples of Attributive Verbs in Spanish
Ser (to be)
Example: "Él es un buen amigo." (He is a good friend.)
"Es" links the subject "Él" to the complement "un buen amigo," describing what he is.
Estar (to be)
Example: "Estamos cansados." (We are tired.)
"Estamos" connects "nosotros" to the adjective "cansados," describing our state.
Parecer (to seem)
Example: "Parece fácil." (It seems easy.)
"Parece" links the subject "it" to the adjective "fácil," describing how it appears.
Quedar (to remain, to be left)
Example: "Quedan tres manzanas." (There are three apples left.)
"Quedan" links the subject "tres manzanas" to the numerical complement "tres," describing the quantity remaining.
Lucir (to look, to shine)
Example: "Lucen felices." (They look happy.)
"Lucen" connects the subject "ellos" to the adjective "felices," describing their appearance.
