Using somos and son
I was confused between somos and son usage. Once I figured out, it is quite simple.
Both are used to say "are". "somos" is used for plural first person. And "son" is used for plural second/third person. See examples below.
Nosotras somos mujeres - We are women
Los niños son vegetarianos - The children are vegetarian
