Ser came from a Latin word meaning "to sit"; estar came from a Latin word meaning "to stand." As of location in this sense, you use ser for an event because that's a setting ("set" and "sit" have a connected etymology in English), but you use estar for a physical object because it basically stands wherever.
@Benjamin Ku I understand but many students don't see characteristics as description. Using the 2 categories helps them to understand better but date is also a great choice😀👍
The verbs in the infinitive form in Spanish end in "-ar, -er, -ir." The infinitive form in English have a "to" in front. Examples: estar (to be), caminar (to walk), ser (to be), correr (to run), vivir (to live), escribir (to write).
Hey maestro just to be clear 'La bicicleta es de Nicolas' and 'La bicicleta de Nicolas' is pretty much the same thing right? It just gives us another way to say the bike belongs to Nicolas? Also 'Ella es hija' would translate into 'she is a daughter'?
la bicicleta de Nicolas would be the bike is from Nick's so no and ella es hija is she is a daughter but you'd probably never say that because every "she" is a daughter.
That taco stand in Mexico was cute ^_^
