Ser / creer
Es la diferencia entre 'ser' y 'creer' el grado de seguridad?
Por ejemplo, con 'creer', hay un posibilidad qué se está incorrecto. Con 'ser' se es certero sobre algo? |

¿Tienes algún ejemplo específico donde los dos verbos sean confusos?
Ser = to be Creer = to believe

Correcto, pero to be= ser o estar, and I am certain (that) you know this.

are you thinking of saber (yo sé, tú sabes...) maybe?

@Fazor: "Saber" is used when you can be certain about some kind of knowledge. "Creer" is when you're making a supposition or guess.
Sé que Juan no se ha ido, porque yo tengo las llaves de su coche. I know Juan hasn't left because I have his car's keys. Creo que Juan no se ha ido, porque no lo he visto salir. I think Juan hasn't left because I haven't seen him go out. Supe que "sé" era conjugación del verbo ser, por el contexto de la oración. I knew that "sé" was a conjugation of the verb "ser" because of the context of the sentence. Creí que "sé" era conjugación del verbo "ser", pero en realidad era del verbo "saber". I thought that "sé" was a conjugation of the verb "ser", but it was actually from the verb "saber". @Chileno: Sé que "to be" significa "ser" o "estar" porque me lo enseñaron en la escuela. I know "to be" means "ser" or "estar" because I was taught that in school. Creí que si lo ponía completo, no tendrías qué corregirme. I thought if I wrote it completely, you wouldn't have anything to correct.

It depends on what you believe. Not all the cases of "creer" imply suppositions of course, but I was answering Fazor's question about the opposition "creer"-"saber". As for certainties: Creo en Dios. I believe in God. Creo que nuestro deber es ser honestos. I believe our duty is to be honest. Creo que seremos muy felices. I think we will be very happy. @Hernán:

En español, no hay duda en la mente cuándo se usan los verbos creer y pensar. En inglés, es posible que haya duda con los dos verbos.
