Answer:

The correct form of "ser" or "estar" to correctly express the information given is:

  • Estamos.

- Nosotros estamos en casa porque lavamos la ropa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although in English the verb "be" can have two different translations, in Spanish the translations "ser" or "estar" are two different verbs, the first applies to identify professions or way of being of someone in general, while the second applies to mention the place where a person is located.

The translation of the sentence is:

- We are in the house because we wash our clothes.

As one place was mentioned in the sentence (in the house) it is assumed that the correct translation is "estar", the correct conjugation of this verb in the Present Tense is:

1. Yo estoy.

2.estás.

3. Él está.

4. Ella está.

5. Ello está.

6. Nosotros estamos.

7. Ellos están.

How the personal pronoun was "nosotros", the right conjugation for that noun is "estamos".
