When to use estar?

Is it too soon to ask for the situations when estar is used? Is it only for being in a place and for descriptive adjectives?

Hi Mags, there are quite a lot of cases where you need to choose between ser or estar (sometimes both are allowed but that changes the meaning). Don't worry though, we're making lessons for all of them. When they're ready you'll be able to find them here: https://spanish.kwiziq.com/revision/glossary/transference-problems/ser-or-estar
