Not really, that's just a future tense. Here's the correspondence instantiated: "I am tall" -> "sou alto" (ser) "I am broke" -> "estou falido" (estar) "I am being boring" -> "estou a ser aborrecido" (estar a ser) What english doesn't have as easily without context is the distinction between the first two forms because it has a single verb for both.
