Ser and estar are two verbs that introduce students to the more difficult nuances of the Spanish language. It is one of the grammar points that makes Spanish more difficult than French or Italian. I have two mnemonics that help students remember the differences.
Ser- DRPOOPE
D-date (Es el veinte de agosto.)
R-relationships (Ella es mi amiga. / Yo soy tu hermana.)
P-physical description (Mi padre es alto y gordo.)
O-origin (Ellos son de Guatemala.)
O-occupation (Soy profesora.)
P-personality description (Eres inteligente y amable.)
E-events (El concierto es a la una.)
T- time (Son las dos de la tarde.)
Estar- CLIF
C-condition (
Está nevando. / Estoy enferma.)
L-location (Estamos en clase.)
I-ing (Estoy tomando la leche.)
F-feelings (Estamos tristes.)
