First, let's understand what "are" is in the English language. In the conjugation for the verb "to be", it is used in the second person singular and plural (you are), the first person plural (we are), and the third person plural (they are). This is an unusual English verb, because it has a unique form in the first person (I am). The third person singular is "is". (He/she/it is).

This is all much more complex in Spanish. There are two verbs for "to be", depending on the context in which they are used. "Estar" and "ser". There are six unique forms for each verb. The ones corresponding to the English "are" would be:

Estar: Tú estás, nosotros estamos, vosotros estáis, ustedes están.

Ser: Tú eres, nosotros somos, vosotros sois, ustedes son.

In addition, Spanish utilizes the subjunctive much more than in English. This is used to imply a sense of doubt or uncertainty. This is a rather confusing topic, but there is another whole separate set of terms when using this "mood". The terms for this "mood" are:

Estar: Tú estés, nosotros estemos, vosotros estéis, ustedes estén

Ser: Tú seas, nosotros seamos, vosotros seáis, ustedes Sean
