SER is used in a simple way, to talk about WHAT something is (permanent state). To describe characteristics that are an essential part of the thing we’re talking about.

ESTAR is used to talk about HOW something is, so we use it for conditions, locations, emotions, and actions (temporary states).

Ex. SER:

• The hour, day, and date.

• Place of origin.

• Occupation.

• Nationality.

• Religious or political affiliation.

• The material covering something is made of.

• Possessions.

• Relationship of one person to another.

• Where an event is taking place.

• Essential qualities (what makes this thing this thing?).

Ex. ESTAR:

• Geographic or physical location.

• State or condition (like emotions).

• Many idiomatic expressions.

• Progressive tenses (-ing).

See the Baselang.com website for many examples between SER and ESTAR!
