Answer:

Use "es" (from the verb ser) when referring to something more permanent, like a physical or personality characteristic. Use "está" (from the verb estar) when referring to something more temporary, like an emotion, location, or condition

Answer:

"Es" describes something or somebody. "Esta" is a demonstrative pronoun. If it has a tilde "está" is a verb.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

Mi mamá es hermosa = My mom is beautiful

Compré esta planta ayer = I bought this plant yesterday.

La casa está ahí = The house is there
