  Estar is another Spanish verb which means "to be". In contrast to Ser, Estar is generally used to portray more temporary feelings or situations. For example: I am not at home, you are angry, she is at the concert, this cake is delicious, we are singing a song, this restaurant is very popular. This is an important and versatile verb that you will use in everyday life. Estar is also irregular in most cases, meaning you will need to learn the conjugations off by heart.
