Choose whether the following sentences would use ser or estar.
Yo ______ alto.
The correct verb to use in this sentence is "ser" because height is a permanent characteristic. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Yo soy alto." (I am tall.)
The sentence "Yo ______ alto" would use the verb "estar."
To determine whether a sentence would use "ser" or "estar," we need to consider whether the adjective being used describes a permanent or temporary condition. In this case, the adjective "alto" (tall) describes a permanent characteristic rather than a temporary state. Therefore, we would use the verb "ser" to complete the sentence.
So, the correct answer would be: Yo soy alto.
