What is the difference between esta (with accent over "e"), esta (with accent over "a"), and esta (without an accent)? Also, what is the difference between este and esta?

ésta= this one, this (feminine subjects). For example, Dame otra manzana, no me gusta ésta. (Give me another apple, I don't like this one.

esta= this (feminine subjects). For example, this chair=esta silla

está= present 3rd person singular of verb estar, to be. For example, "Él está cansado" (He is tired.) "Ella está lista" (She's ready.)
