ser vs estar 23 pt 13

Question

which correct form of ser or gustar best fits this sentence ana maría _ cansada

Answer 1

it depends on whether you want to say maria likes to be/being tired or is tired, and if it is the first, then whether she is a tiring person or if she is just in a tired state (permanent characteristic or temporary state) so;

ana maria está cansada (temporary state) ana maria es una persona cansada (permanent characteristic) ana maria le gusta estar cansada (likes to be tired)

Again the latter depends on whether she likes to be tired or likes to be a tiring person (estar or ser). Hope this helps
