Hi Rob. Welcome to the forum. grin

Here's the Reference article on Ser vs. Estar, which will help you understand when to use each word.

Let me give you a few examples of "estoy" and "soy."

Soy de los Estados Unidos (I'm from the U.S. -- my nationality)

Soy alto y rubio (I'm tall and blonde -- my characteristics)

Estoy en la tienda (I'm at the store -- a location)

Estoy enojado (I'm angry -- a temporary condition)
