The word ES translates to IS. It is a form of the word "Ser" to be.

Se is a form of "self" it is used to add a person or object to the sentence. It can be used as part of the actual verb or as a separate word.

Sé (with an accent over the e) means "I know (something)" It comes from the word "Saber"
