I need specific examples on when to use ser, eatar, or haber. What are the conditions and/or the hints that help me figure it out?

Ser: Characteristic, describe, identify, express time/date/location, impersonal expressions. Basically, its more permanent then estar. She is always sad, compared to she is sad today.

Ella es triste. vs Ella está triste

Estar: Location, Condition, Progressive tense. Temporary, She is sick, not sick-minded

Está enferma. vs Es enferma (una persona enferma)

Haber: More quantity, and existing. Literally, there is/are/was/were

Hay tres personas

Los verbos impersonales impropios son: Haber: "Hay cosas que hacer". Ser: "Ser como tu quieras". Estar: "Estar en el lugar donde naci es importante".
