Disclaimer: I scanned the Ser/Estar thread and am still a little unclear.
If you're talking about a temporary life state, do you use Ser or Estar? For instance: "When I was a child I liked to eat ice cream." "My life was hard when I was in China." . . . etc. These were obviously temporary conditions . . . but something tells me Ser should be used. Thanks for the help. And I hate to put a rush on this, but I'm trying to type up an e-mail right now and I'm not sure which to use. One other thing on the same subject, would the preterite or imperfect tenses be used? Instinct tells me imperfect, but I really have no idea. Last edited by Rusty; August 09, 2011 at 10:05 PM. Reason: merged back-to-back posts
