<p>TambiÃ©n hay un video en el Video Library donde yo explico la diferencia en tÃ©rminos bÃ¡sicos: <a href="https://warpwire.durhamtech.edu/w/uWEAAA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ser o Estar</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Note about events</strong>: To tell where an event takes place you must use SER. An event is any gathering or activity that <em>could be</em> scheduled (meeting, concert, game, etc.). In the sample sentence in the Yepes Manual, he uses &quot;The class is in another building&quot;. This is probably not the best example as the English wording could be taken different ways. It's understood here that we mean &quot;The class <em>meeting </em>is in another building.&quot;Â  If we meant &quot;The class<em>room</em> is in another building&quot; or &quot;The <em>group of people</em> (being called the 'class') is in another building&quot; then we would use ESTAR.</p>
