It helps to know what kind of learner you are. If you learn visually, you newed to SEE what y ou need to learn. Use the bilious green, orange, pnk to color-code what is difficult for you to remember and it helps "set" it in your memory.
If you learn aurally, you need to HEAR what you want to learn. Get a small tape recorder, Say the verb forms into the recorder, leaving a space after the subject pronoun. Then, while you are listening, try to fill in the verb form before you hear it.
If you learn kinesth etically, you need to physically be involved in learning. You need to copy, trace, "walk" on the verb forms; use your imagination. This is a style that is harder to learn, but you will remember longer.
Many people are a combination of 2 of these 3 styles.
Here are the verb forms and the secret to learning is REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION .
yo estoy
tú estás
él / ella / usted está
nosotros/nosotras estamos
vosotros/vostras estáis (often not taught in many textbooks
ellos/ellas/ustedes están
Note the accent marks. They MUST be there or the verb is wrong. Now, go back up and try all the exercises. I'll come back later and check them for you.
