I would like for someone to give me the conjugations of these verbs in the following tenses: preterite, imperfect ,and the future.
Thanks for your help. Also, I have another question. When can you truly consider yoursefl fluent in Spanish? Also, would most Hispanics be happy to talk to me so that I can get practice conversing in Spanish?
Thanks again.

Pronombre Ser Estar
Yo soy estoy
Tú eres estás
Él, ella, usted es está
Nosotros somos estamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes son están
You can consider yourself fluent in Spanish when you can watch Spanish television shows and have everyday conversations without difficulty. Most Hispanics are good natured about helping out people learning the language and will help you practice.

Okay. I think most Spanish speakers would be glad to get a grasp of you. We feel happy when seeing someone doing their best at trying to learn the language. Put yourself in our place, wouldn't you feel enormously happy if you heard someone trying to mutter away a few words in English? I think you would.
Regarding the other questions of yours...I think that from the moment onwards you are able to keep on a conversation with a native Spanish speaker -be the latter from LAM or Spain- you can get the thumb up. It is tough in the beginning but the more you put yourself down to study, read novels, tales or whatever the topic you like to read about -be always written in Spanish- you will gradually start to feel how your skills grow wider and you will be more self-confident about speaking it aloud.
It took me several years to enhance my English and nowadays I still have to put up with a few mistakes I cannot help. Reading was the best option -for its commodity and accesibility-, and I believe indeed it should be the same for everyone else.

Im not going to do your homework forbyou but i will explain it to you. Use the phrases DOCTOR ser and FELT estar SER:: D--date (es el primero del julio) O--origin (yo soy de los EEUU) C-- characteristics (ella es bonita) T-- time (es cinco y medio en la manana) O-- occupation/job (yo soy una __) R-- Relationships (ella es mi madre) ESTAR:: F-- feelings (yo estoy cansado) E-- emotions (yo estoy triste) L-- location (ella esta en chile) T-- temperature (esta caliente) i hope this helps... in the long run it will be easier for you to remember doctor ser felt estar instead of having other people do your hw and you not understanding it.

The back of your textbook or the back of a Spanish dictionary will give you these verbs. You can consider yourself fluent when you can speak in Spanish without thinking in English. Most people who speak Spanish as a first language would probably be happy to talk to you. But, beware of speaking to strangers in ANY language!

estar-to be
ser-to be
estar and its conjugations implies that a particular state of being can change. For example: Estoy bien.[I'm well] a moment later can change into Estoy enojada[I'm angry]
ser and its conjugations usually that particular state of being cannot change
El sol es muy caliente.[The sun is very hot] Unless something major in the universe happens, there isn't much chance of that state of being changing.
Hope this helps.
