Who you are (ser) & how you are (estar)  In this chapter you'll learn about the difference between the two verbs that mean to be: ser and estar.
You'll use ser to talk about who you are: your personality, your physical appearance, your nationality, etc. You'll also use ser to describe things: what they are and what they're made of. You'll also use ser to answer the question when: to tell time.
You'll use estar to talk about how you're feeling and where you are.
A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is to use ser when answering the questions who, what, or when, and to use estar when answering the questions how or where. Alternately, you can memorize the popular dicho (saying):
for how you feel and where you are, always use the verb estar
