  • I am studying Portuguese which although is a distinct language has many similarities with Spanish. The reason I answer is because I have recently been studying the verbs Ser and Estar which have very similar meanings to their Spanish counterparts.

    They are both verbs for " To Be". The key difference is that Ser is "To Be" in a more permanents sense than Estar "To Be".

    For example

    Ser would be used for "Hello, I am Bob" as the person is Bob, he has always been Bob and will always be Bob.

    Estar could be used for "I am Happy" as the person is happy now but may not have always been happy and may not be happy in the future.

    I think your paragraph is asking you to write something using both of the verbs and perhaps different tenses (past, present, future etc). So maybe you could write a short paragraph about yourself and things which you will always be [Name, hometown, tall/short] and things which you may temporarily be [tired, happy/sad, a student etc].

    Hope this helps sorry I couldn't provide a spanish example!
