Es is from the verb ser, and esta is (probably) from the verb estar, but the a should be accented.

Ser is used for: Date (May 3rd), Occupation, Characteristics, Time, Origin (you are French or you are from Delaware), and Religion; DOCTOR is the acronym.

Estar is used for: Emotions, Location (you are in the library) and Feelings; ELF is the acronym, and yes it repeats in order to be a proper acronym.

*In other words, ser= permanent features while estar= constantly changing things. Yes, you can change religion, but usually people don't change their religion every day

estoy: a conjugated verb (estar) means 'I am' when talking about a feeling or location (things that change)

ser: a verb meaning 'am' when something is permanent

Ser and estar are verbs that mean 'am' or 'is'.

How you feel or where you are, always use the verb ESTAR, nothing else use SER!

Sorry if it is confusing!

What is the spanish wording for are you well?

If it is someone you know, "Como estas?" or else "Estas bien?" The first is actually "How are you?" the second is "Are you well?" If you do not know the person, or if it someone you have a more formal relationship with, it would be "Como esta usted?" or "Usted esta bien?"
