spanish problems
i take spanish 1 in school, and we recently started doing paragraphs in spanish. i have a hard time figuring out which verb - ser or estar - to use. what's the difference between the two verbs and is there an easy way to remember which one to use in a sentence?

Estar is used for temporary situations & Ser is used for long term.

It might help a little. And remember to ask your teacher if you ever want some after school turtoring. He/She is the best source for Spanish help.

estar is for how you feel like i dont feel good and for located. like where is the pen or where is mom
ser is used for description. she is nice he is handsome
it gets pretty easy once you understand it- trust me

Use estar with locations, emotions, and feelings. If you want to say that someone is happy, mad, sad, tired, or bored, use estar. If you want to say where someone is, use estar.
Use ser with time, physical characteristics, and personalities. If you want to say that someone is funny, pretty, ugly, nice, mean, spoiled, or boring, use ser. If you want to say that its 3:00, use ser.
*Note: use estar with bored and use ser with boring.
Examples:
Estoy en mi casa=I'm at my house
Estoy muy triste hoy=I'm really sad today
Estoy cansado=I'm tired
Eres bonita=You're pretty
Es la una y media=It's 1:30
Ella es aburrida=She's boring
