how do you know when to use soy, son, eres, es and somos?
My daughter is learning grammar in 8th grade and we are having a hard time distinguishing between when to use which form of ser.

Ser is an irregular verb meaning 'to be'. Soy, eres, es, somos, and son are all conjugations of it. Soy= I am Eres= You (familiar) are Es= He/She is, You (formal) are Somos= We are. Son= They/You (plural) are
