The verb \u201cser\u201d (<em>ser<\/em>) is irregular and its form varies considerably depending on the subject (I, you, them, etc). \u201cLlamarse\u201d (literally\u00a0<em>llamarse<\/em>), on the other hand, is a regular verb, so if you know the word endings for regular verbs, you won\u2019t find much difficulty. But it is a reflexive verb, meaning it comes with the pronoun \u201cse\u201d which also changes. Don\u2019t worry if you find this explanation a bit confusing, we will explain in detail how verbs work in Spanish soon,\u00a0so let\u2019s now focus on Ser vs Llamarse.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ser vs Llamarse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Como ya hemos dicho, \u00e9stas son las frases habituales que podemos utilizar:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yo soy Delia \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019m Delia<\/li>\n<li><strong>(Yo) me llamo Delia \u2013<\/strong> Me llamo Delia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents-pro\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/es\/onlineactivities\/conjugaciones-verbales\/\" class=\"template-4\"><img width=\"250\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CONVERSA-CONJUGATE-SPANISH-VERBS-IN-PRESENT.png\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image\" alt=\"CONVERSA CONJUGA VERBOS ESPA\u00d1OLES EN PRESENTE\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CONVERSA-CONJUGATE-SPANISH-VERBS-IN-PRESENT.png 825w, https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CONVERSA-CONJUGATE-SPANISH-VERBS-IN-PRESENT-600x382.png 600w, https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CONVERSA-CONJUGATE-SPANISH-VERBS-IN-PRESENT-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CONVERSA-CONJUGATE-SPANISH-VERBS-IN-PRESENT-768x489.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\"><div class=\"postTitle\"><span><strong>Leer m\u00e1s<\/strong>Actividad en l\u00ednea: Conjugar verbos espa\u00f1oles en presente<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><p>So what if you want to introduce someone else?
