Compare and contrast the usages of the verbs ser y estar, which both mean “to be” in Spanish-

I organize the two in an easy way below:

Explanation:

SER:

-soy, eres, es, somos, sois, son

T-time

O-origin

P-profession

I-identity

C-characteristics

ESTAR:

-estoy, estas, esta, estamos, estais, estan

P-position

L-location

A-action

C-condition

E-emotion

Using this strategy is easy to study from, and it's a great way to compare both uses of the similar verbs.

I hope I helped! :)
