Ser is used to express permanent or inherent qualities, while Estar is used to express temporary states or conditions. So, both verbs have the general meaning of "to be" but they are used in different situations.Rate this question:

In this case, "nadaremos" is formed by adding the "-emos" ending to "nadar".Rate this question:
