When should I use the verb "to stand"?
I'm a bit confused because one meaning of "to stand" in spanish is "estar" (the same meaning that to be). Thanks!

Look at these examples:
-He was standing on a chair to change the lamp.
-My mother couldn’t stand my friends! (She hated them 😀😀)
-There are more than 55000 participants, I don’t stand a chance.
-He tried to silence her but she stood her ground. (She resisted and defended her position)
-We are going to visit the church that stands on the hill.
-He decided not to smoke again and his decision still stands (he still isn’t smoking)
-Nobody clearly knows where he stands on this issue! (What his position is)
Hope these examples can help because stand is used in a very broad sense!

Although I think most people would agree that the basic meanings are the one about physically standing, not sitting or lying down - as in "Stand over there please" - and the one about location, as in "Buckingham Palace stands at the end of the Mall", there are indeed a few situations were you can use it as something like a synonym of "to be".
I stand corrected.
I stand to gain a great deal of money.
There are probably others.
