Explain why the verb ser is used in the following sentence.
Yo soy alta.
1 answer
The verb "ser" is used in the sentence "Yo soy alta" to express a permanent or inherent characteristic or quality of the subject. In this case, the sentence is stating that the subject (in first person singular) has the characteristic of being tall. The verb "ser" is used to link the subject ("yo") with the adjective ("alta") that describes it.
