Answering a Question about Nationality in Spanish

Understanding Nationality in Spanish

In Spanish, talking about nationality involves using different forms of the verb "ser" (to be) depending on the subject. Let's look at a common question and different responses:

¿De dónde eres?
- Ella es de Guatemala.
- Nosotros somos de Guatemala.
- Soy de Guatemala.
- Tú eres de Guatemala.

Correct Response: It's "Soy de Guatemala" because all the other options are referring to someone else. Here are the translations for each response:

• Ella es de Guatemala - She is from Guatemala
• Nosotros somos de Guatemala - We are from Guatemala
• Soy de Guatemala - I am from Guatemala
• Tú eres de Guatemala - You are from Guatemala

Remember to use the correct form of "ser" based on the subject when talking about nationality in Spanish!
