Question

Describe in two sentences 2 instances in which you would use the verbs ser and estar. Write your answer in English.

Answer 1

Use "ser" to describe essential characteristics or inherent qualities, such as stating someone's profession or nationality (e.g., "She is a doctor"). Use "estar" to express temporary conditions or locations, such as describing someone's feelings or their position at a given moment (e.g., "He is tired" or "The book is on the table").
