Re: Need help on Spanish

Just a little something to add - the tú, vosotros (spain), él/ella/Ud., and ellos forms of Estar have an accent mark on them.

Estar- to be
Estoy - I am
Estamos - We are
Estás - you are
Estáis - you are (talking to more than one person, used in Spain)
Está - he/she/it is or you are (used for the formal form of you)
Están - They are (or you are talking to more than one person)

and another small thing to add: the other form of "to be" is ser. Ser is used generally for more permanent things (profession, race, etc) while estar is used for more temporary things (location, emotions, etc)

Ser - to be
Soy - I am
Somos - we are
Eres - you are
Sois - you are (more than one person, Spain)
Es - he/she/it is or you are (used for the formal form of you)
Son - They are (or you are talking to more than one person)

"What do you like to do?" could be translated "¿Qué te gusta hacer?"
The way Hero of Legends translated it is perfectly fine as well.
