Grammar Point: when "be" = estar com

There are many expressions where English uses the verb "be", but Portugurese uses the verb estar (literally "to be with"). For example, "I am hungry" = Estou com fome; "They are afraid = Eles estão com medo. In some cases, the verb ter is used "I am 18 years old" = Eu tenho 18 anos.
