Ser vs. Estar

There is only one verb for existence in English: to be (I am, you are, he is...)

One of the perplexing features of Spanish is that there are two verbs that mean "to be", but they're not interchangeable. As a novice learner, this topic was very frustrating for me.

But these resources should help you to avoid the confusion and figure out how to use these two fundamental verbs correctly. It's really not as hard as it might seem. I hope that you master the difference between ser and estar faster than I did back before the Internet existed!
