The primary reference article on this subject is Ser y Estar. It explains it all very well.

I said the sentence "Esta Español." meaning "It is Spanish." and I had two people tell me it was incorrect, when I had never been corrected on that before. Is it correct? - SavviVague, Oct 4, 2009
In this case it changes to "es" since the verb to be in English is "ser or estar" in Spanish. - 00b83c38, Oct 4, 2009
"Es Español." - 00b83c38, Oct 4, 2009
So when does it chaneg to es and when does it stay esta? - SavviVague, Oct 4, 2009
"Es" means state of being "Estar" is location---1. El es bueno---He is good. 2. El está en su casa.---He is in his house. - 00b83c38, Oct 4, 2009
está can be it is - you can say está when talking about an object or person in a place like "la mochila está en la casa" which means the backpack is in the house - lucyrp96, Oct 4, 2009
