Learn to Speak and Understand Spanish
I know that they both mean "to be" and I know how to conjugate them. The trouble is that i don't quite know which of them to use in sentences and stuff. Any help would be appreciated especially acronyms or nomonic devices!!
Thanks!

You use ser for things that are permanent, you can never change.
Use estar for things that are temporary, things that you can change.
Ser- permanent (such as Soy una chica), something that will always be true
Estar- temporary (such as Estoy en la biblioteca), something that will end
Ser is used for permanent conditions, descriptions of what someone is like, and things like professions, that don’t often change.
Also for expressions of time.
Estar is used for temporary conditions. How you feel, what something is like at this moment, such as the food is hot, the water is cold. (which can change). And for a few exceptions to the rule such as marriage and death, both of which one would assume to be permanent. And craziness.
And Estar is used as the helping verb for the present progressive.
