Question 10 in the quiz
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate ser in the present tense in Spanish (El Presente)"
Asked 1 year ago
Hola Holly,
I can't find any question that relates the verb "ser" to being sick, but I've seen a question about professions that mentions nurses, though. Could it be possible that you've confused "enfermo" (sick) with "enfermera" (nurse)? Remember that when talking about professions, we always need the verb "ser" and not "estar".
Un saludo
