Personal a with the verb ser

Question

In the sentence "Queremos ser los campeones" why isn't the personal a used? This is an example from my textbook, but I am having trouble trying to figure out the reason for why it isn't used here.

Answer 1

There's not really a specific reason. Some verbs require the use of the "personal a" while others don't. It will take you a while to learn which ones require it and which ones don't... just be patient. Your textbook is correct. "Ser" doesn't use the "personal a."
