11)Están (if you are talking about a time you saw the doctora and the pacientes, and they look “serious” this is the correct verb to use, if you are talking about a personality trait then use “son”). Example: I am very stiff, not the joking type person (yo soy muy seria, no del tipo de persona que bromea). Yo visité a mi mamá y ella estaba (past tense) muy seria, yo creo algo anda mal con ella o está enojada conmigo. I visited my mom and she was very serious, I think something is wrong with her, or she is angry with me.

Explanation:

These verbs are tricky, especially when you can use both for the same meaning.

The key difference between ser and estar is one of essence and condition. In other words, to say what something is, use ser, but to say how something is, use estar.

Lola es artista. Lola is an artist.

Jesse está enfermo. Jesse is ill.

To tell where something is from, use ser, but to tell where something is located now, use estar.

Mike y Mary son de Rusia, pero ahora están en México.

Mike and Mary are from Russia, but they are now in Mexico.

ser (to be)

yo soy

tu eres

él/ella es

(it) es it=this, that, thing animal, etc (singular)

nosotors somos

vosotros sois (Spain)
