    "Ser" or "estar"?
    You can use "ser": ► when defining or identifying by linking two nouns or noun phrases:
    Paris is the capital of France París es la capital de Francia
    He was the most hated man in the village Era el hombre más odiado del pueblo ► to describe essential or inherent characteristics (e.g. colour, material, nationality, race, shape, size {etc}):
    His mother is German Su madre es alemana
    She was blonde Era rubia ► with most impersonal expressions not involving past participles:
    It is important to be on time Es importante llegar a tiempo
    Está claro que is an exception:
    It is obvious you don't understand Está claro que no lo entiendes ► when telling the time or talking about time or age:
    It is ten o'clock Son las diez
    It's very late. Let's go home Es muy tarde. Vamos a casa
    He lived in the country when he was young Vivió en el campo cuando era joven ► to indicate possession or duty:
    It's mine Es mío
    This is your responsibility Este asunto es responsabilidad tuya ► with events in the sense of "take place":
    The 1992 Olympic Games were in Barcelona Los Juegos Olímpicos de 1992 fueron en Barcelona
    "Where is the exam?" - "It's in Room 1" "¿Dónde es el examen?" - "Es en el Aula Número 1" NOTE: Compare this usage with that of estar (see below) to talk about location of places, objects and people.
    You can use "estar": ► to talk about location of places, objects and people:
    "Where is Zaragoza?" - "It's in Spain" "¿Dónde está Zaragoza?" - "Está en España"
    Your glasses are on the bedside table Tus gafas están en la mesilla de noche NOTE: But use ser with events in the sense of "take place" (see above)}. ► to talk about changeable state, condition or mood:
    The teacher is ill La profesora está enferma
    The coffee's cold El café está frío
    How happy I am! ¡Qué contento estoy! NOTE: Feliz, however, which is seen as more permanent than contento, is used mainly with ser. ► to form progressive tenses:
    We're having lunch. Is it ok if I call you later? Estamos comiendo. Te llamaré luego, ¿vale?
    Both "ser" and "estar" can be used with past participles ► Use ser in {passive} constructions:
    This play was written by Lorca Esta obra fue escrita por Lorca
    He was shot dead (by a terrorist group) Fue asesinado a tiros (por un grupo terrorista) NOTE: The passive is not used as often in Spanish as it is in English. ► Use estar with past participles to describe the {results} of a previous action or event:
    We threw them away because they were broken Los tiramos a la basura porque estaban rotos
    He's dead Está muerto ► Compare the use of ser + ((past participle)) which describes {action} and estar + ((past participle)) which describes {result} in the following:
    The window was broken by the firemen La ventana fue rota por los bomberos
    The window was broken La ventana estaba rota
    It was painted around 1925 Fue pintado hacia 1925
    The floor is painted a dark colour El suelo está pintado de color oscuro ► Ser and estar are both used in impersonal expressions with past participles. As above, the use of ser implies {action} while the use of estar implies {result}:
    It is understood that the work was never finished Es sabido que el trabajo nunca se llegó a terminar
    It is a proven fact that vaccinations save many lives Está demostrado que las vacunas salvan muchas vidas
    "Ser" and "estar" with adjectives ► Some adjectives can be used with both ser and estar but the meaning changes completely depending on the verb:
    He's clever Es listo
    Are you ready? ¿Estás listo?
    Chemistry is boring La química es aburrida
    I'm bored Estoy aburrido ► Other adjectives can also be used with both verbs but the use of ser describes a {characteristic} while the use of estar implies a {change}:
    He's very handsome Es muy guapo
    You look great in that dress! Estás muy guapa con ese vestido
    He's slim Es delgado
    You're (looking) very slim ¡Estás muy delgada! For further uses and examples, see main entry

III. pp. 243- 356.
