Sure! The verb “estar” means “to be” in Spanish, and it is used to talk about temporary states, locations, and emotions. Here are the forms of “estar” in the present tense:

  1. Yo estoy (I am)
  2. Tú estás (You are - informal)
  3. Él/Ella/Usted está (He/She/You formal are)
  4. Nosotros/as estamos (We are)
  5. Vosotros/as estáis (You all are - informal in Spain)
  6. Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes están (They/You all formal are)

Now, here’s an example sentence using one of the forms:

Yo estoy feliz. (This means "I am happy.")

In this sentence, "estoy" shows that I am feeling happy right now!
