Yo soy
Tú eres
Él/Ella es
Ellos/ellas son
Nosotros somos
Vosotros sois
To know what form of the verb to be you need to use, you need to replace the object with a pronoun. How can you replace "los tomates"? First of all, we can see that tomates is in plural therefore we can cross out yo, tú, él (singular pronouns). When we talk about los tomates, we are not talking about we (nosotros) and we are not talking about you all (vosotros/ustedes). We are talking about they (ellos), so if you look at the conjugation table you will see that the verb to be with the pronoun ellos is son.

aileribel, your profile says that you're a beginner with English. Based on this answer, I would say that you are far beyond that. - jtaniel, Apr 26, 2015
