res. ERs res RSE RES Res. ERS SRE ers -ers ESR FromEarly Medieval Latin essere Latin esse sois (second person plural present indicative) displaced expected*estes from Latinestis , second person plural ofesse , whileye (third person singular present indicative) lost its ancestor's finalst inest since it would have been too similar toyes (second person singular present indicative). The present subjunctive was extended with the Latin third conjugation endings, with the I in the ancestor verb's present subjunctive (originally part of that tense's endings) becoming part of the root.

El hombreestá feliz. ―The manis happy [i.e., in a good mood]. El hombrees feliz. ―The manis happy [i.e., a joyous person]. ¿Estás loco? ―Are you crazy [i.e., out of your mind]?¿Eres loco? ―Are you crazy [i.e., an insane person]?El hombreestá en España. ―The manis [currently located] in Spain. El hombrees de España. ―The manis [originally] from Spain. ¿Cómoestás ? ―Howare you ?¿Cómoeres? ―Whatare you like? The "essence/state" distinction between the two verbs is often misinterpreted as a "permanent/temporary" distinction. In most contexts these distinctions are practically synonymous (including all of the above examples) but there exist cases in which they are not, and using the latter distinction can lead one to choosing the incorrect verb. For example:
Mi abuelitoestá muerto. ―My grandadis dead. (Hereestá is used instead ofes because death is a state, even though it is permanent.) ¡Todavíasomos jóvenes! ―Weare still young! (Heresomos is used instead ofestamos because a person's age is seen as a defining characteristic rather than a state, even if it is not permanent.) Also, when stating the location of an object (but not an event),estar is used, regardless of whether the location is permanent or not:
Madridestá en el centro de España. ―Madridis in central Spain. In the preterite indicative and the imperfect and future subjunctive, the conjugation ofser is identical to that ofir yo fui can mean either "I was" or "I went", depending on context.
