when do I use ser or estar

Question

I need to know a simple way to understand when to use SER or Estar

Answer 1

Someone told me to use LoCo for estar as a 'general' more easy rule than P.L.A.C.E. for estar and D.O.C.T.O.R. for ser Lo - location Co- condition

When I was first learning this helped a lot when everything seemed so overwhelming to remember.

Answer 2

Ser vs. estar is one of the most challenging parts of learning Spanish. It will not be simple at first. However, with practice, you'll be able to understand it!!

You should watch lessons 1.11 as well.

As you learn about ser and estar, you will hear something about "permanent and temporary". Do not ever rely on the permanent and temporary rule.
