This time we are using Present Simple. We use it to describe a habit, routine or something that happens now.

When it comes to the verb SER, unlike English where we use the verb "to be" as SER or ESTAR, in Spanish they have different meanings.

SER describes appearances, identity, family relationships, when and where an event takes place, time and date.

ESTAR expresses a mood or health status, an aspect, the marital status of a person, their location.

The ways to conjugate each verb for different people of the present is as follows:

SER:

yo soy

tú eres

él/ella es

nosotros somos

ellos son

ESTAR:

yo estoy

tú estás

él/ella está

nosotros estamos

ellos están
