When we want to talk about relationships, such as family ties, friendship or romantic relationships, we use the verb ser (not estar).
For example:
In the examples above, we use ser to talk about family ties.Laura es su amiga.
Laura is his friend.
Ramón y Marcos son mis amigos.
Ramón and Marcos are my friends.
As you can see above, we use ser to talk about friendships.
In the examples above, we use ser to talk about romantic relationships.

Hola Mitch,
As it is a lesson about a specific use of "ser", we haven't used all pronouns in the examples. We tend to use the most natural sentences. This is not the case in conjugation lessons though, where we make sure all pronouns are used as it is important to see the whole conjugation.
Saludos,
Inma
