This is too general a question for us to answer here. What I can tell you is that in Spanish there are two verbs meaning "to be". They are "ser" and "estar" and you can find out more about them in the following locations. If you are very new to Spanish, I would suggest starting with the video lessons on this site or doing some basic lessons first and then asking questions if you have problems.

Resources for "ser" and "estar":

Basic Ser vs. Estar

SpanishDict Grammar Page: look under "verbs"

Ser vs. Estar: Video Lesson

Ser SpanishDict Entry

Estar SpanishDict Entry

Here are the video lessons:
