essere vs stare

Am I the only beginner confused about which scenarios require which verb? 

The examples used in this section do not seem consistent, based on the posted rules. 

Does this really matter in the real world?

Ciao Pasqual, 

I understand that verb usage can be confusing, especially for beginners. While there are general rules and guidelines for verb usage in Italian, it's important to remember that language is dynamic, and there can be variations and exceptions in different contexts.

It is true that the examples used in the lessons may not cover all possible scenarios, and there may be cases where the rules seem inconsistent. This could be due to different factors such as regional variations, colloquial language, or specific idiomatic expressions.

In the real world, communication is the key goal, and native speakers often focus more on understanding the overall message rather than strict adherence to grammar rules. As a beginner, it's essential to grasp the basics and gradually build your understanding of verb usage through exposure to authentic Italian language materials, conversations, and practice.

While it's important to learn and follow grammar rules, don't be too hard on yourself if you encounter inconsistencies or find it challenging at times. Language learning is a process, and with time, exposure, and practice, you will become more comfortable and confident in using the appropriate verbs in different scenarios.

I encourage you to continue studying, practicing, and engaging with the Italian language in various contexts. As you progress, you will develop a better sense of when to use specific verbs and gain a deeper understanding of the language.

If you have specific questions or need clarification on any particular scenarios or verbs, feel free to ask. I'm here to help you along your language learning journey.

In bocca al lupo! (Good luck!)
