Which Spanish verb would you use to ask the following question?
"What is your name?"
a. estar
b. ser
c. hacer
d. tener
ser
is ser right?
Ser is correct.
The correct Spanish verb to use when asking the question "What is your name?" is the verb "ser."
To arrive at this answer, let's first consider the meaning and usage of each verb choice:
a. "Estar" generally means "to be" as well, but it is used to express temporary states or locations. It is not used to ask for someone's name.
b. "Ser" is the verb used to express basic characteristics or identities, such as name, age, nationality, profession, etc. It is the appropriate verb to use when asking for someone's name.
c. "Hacer" means "to do" or "to make." It is not the correct verb to use when asking for someone's name.
d. "Tener" means "to have." It is not the appropriate verb to use when asking for someone's name.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. "ser."
