Ser vs. Estar: Permanent Traits
Remember to use ser (and thus serás) when talking about things that are permanent, essential, or defining (like nationality, character, or profession), even when speaking about the future.
Mixing Up Ser and Estar in the Future
Mistake: “Usarás 'estarás' en lugar de 'serás' para una profesión ('Cuando crezcas, estarás piloto').”
Correction: Use *serás* for professions, identity, and definitions: 'Cuando crezcas, **serás** piloto.' (*Estar* is for temporary states, like being tired or located somewhere temporarily.)
