Soy is from the verb "ser".
Estoy is from the verb "estar".
Hello Aceinpa,
Welcome to the SpanishDict forum ![]()
Learning and knowing when to use the verb ser vs estar in Spanish can seem very difficult when you are first learning Spanish as a beginner, but it does become easier with a lot of practice! It is a common area of difficulty for many students you are bnot alone in this respect! ![]()
I would recommend that you listen to our online teacher Paralee talk about the differences, she makes it a lot simpler to understand. Here is the link to her mini-video They are relatively short...each one lasts approximately 10 minutes long. (10-15 minutes) Here is the link to lesson 1 11 Ser v Estar enter link description here
You can always listen to it again as many times as you wish and/or revisit it at a later time if you prefer! All these video lessons are completely free so enjoy !
