To Garth brooks' "Friends In Low places". In Spanish there are two verbs that mean "to be" , ser and estar. However, they are not interchangeable. This song is to help you remember when to use each one.
Lyrics:
Blame it all on the books
Cant get by on looks
Got to learn estar and ser
Estars for a place (location)
Sers for my face (physical description)
Its also to say from where (origin)
Estar for a state (condition)
Ser for a date (time, day, date)
Its also for possession
Sers for events (time and place of events)
Estars for a tense (progressive tense)
And idiomatic expressions

Cause I got a verb with two faces
I get on my knees and scream goodness gracious
I cantsay
But Ill be okay
Cause I got to be with two faces
Ser and estar goodness gracious
oh I got a verb with two faces

I guess I was wrong
Estar just dont belong
In a list of sers uses
Possession, profession
Impersonal expression
Or to tell what somethin is made of
Nationality
Essential quality
Religious affiliation
I have one wish
To just learn this list
And all their conjugations

Cause I got a verb with two faces
I get on my knees and scream goodness gracious
I cantsay
But Ill be okay
Cause I got to be with two faces
Ser and estar goodness gracious
oh I got a verb with two faces
