Verbo ser - Verb to be.

Hello everyone,

The verb to be in Portuguese can be:

Ser - to be Estar - to be

But how can I use ser or estar?

You must use Ser to say that a person is something... ex: Maria é bonita: Mary is beautiful - Mary is beautiful today, tomorrow, yesterday and so on....

You must use está to say where someone is, or how this person is.... ex: Maria está bonita: Mary is beautiful - But mary is beautiful "now" just in this moment ex²: Maria está em casa: mary is at home : to say where someone is....

I hope this article help you.
