Answer 1

This is a common question, and here at SpanishDict, we have a great article on Ser and Estar.

Hope this helps!

All about ser y estar

Answer 3

In general estar is for transitory things and ser for things more permanent. Eg la mesa es de madera, or the table is wooden. It uses ser because it is permanent. Estoy feliz porque me regalaste un caballo. Here estar is temporary because I´ve received a gift and I´m happy for now.

It´s better to go to section 1 of the videos and listen to Paralee´s description because it´s very thorough and explains that there are also nuances. For example, la casa de Juan está allá. Although Juan´s house is permanently over there, it is necesary to use estar.
