The simple past of estar in Spanish

The past of estar in Spanish.

Note that whenever we are saying something that can be a translation of "to be" in Spanish we have to be eternally vigilant to remember that there are 2 verbs for "to be" - ser and estar. In most of the examples in this lesson we are speaking about location or where something was at a specific moment in the past. The past of estar is very useful when speaking about where something was in the past and also for speaking about temporary states eg "estuve triste esta mañana" I was sad this morning.
