Como _____ tu dia? Has ido or Ha sido?

Question

I hear this alot in a restaurant when waitresses are welcoming partrons. I can hear the sounds, but can't make out the words.

Are they saying "has ido" or "ha sido" in the sentence "Como___tu dia?"

Side Question: Me enamoré de ti means - "I fell in love with you " Me enamoró means - what? (who fell in love with who?)

So how would you say, "I am falling in love..." - "Estoy enamorando de ti?" Does that make sense?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes it is definitely ha sido rather than has ido

ha sido is from the verb ser = to be, in the perfect indicative form/tense

has ido is from the verb ir = to go, in the same perfect indicative form

You can also say: ¿Cómo fue su día? = How was your day?

I think that ha sido implies that the day is not yet over whereas fue is used/would be used at the end of the day.

Interestingly enough there are two tenses where Ir and Ser share exactly the same endings: the preterite (or simple past)

Preterite/simple past Fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos, fuistes fueron

and the imperfect subjunctive. fuera fueras fuera, fuéramos, fueráis fuerán

Apart from this, they are quite similar in some forms eg: pluscuaperfecto había sido compared with había ido, so serious students of Spanish must be careful not to get them muddled up as the meanings are not the same!

By the way, the side question was very well answered by our native friend here and because I certainly couldn't improve on it I will not post an answer concerning it

I hope this helps

"¿Cómo ha sido tu día?

"I am falling in love..." = **me estoy enamorando de ti*
