Eres vs Es

Can someone please explain in a way that's dumbed down when you'd use eres vs es in a sentence and why?

Hola Emily K.

The difference between es and eres is simply who you are talking about. Es means he/she/it is, while eres means you are (when talking to one person).

For example, you would say Él es alto (he is tall), but Tú eres alto (you are tall).

So it’s not about the meaning changing, just the subject of the sentence.

Saludos

Silvia
