Plato’s theory of forms is that there are these pristine concepts (“forms”) and they are instantiated by common every day “particulars.”
So there could be a white horse, a brown horse and a black horse. They’re particulars of the form Horse; they instantiate a horse. So they *ser* horse.
Similarly there could be many beautiful particulars but they all embody beauty. A rose, a beautiful woman, a sunset. They all *ser* beauty.
The particular instantiation is not describing the overall form. The horse *estar* brown/white/beautiful/big.
