You could try to remember the difference between "es" and "est" with this trick:
- "es" has 2 letters, and is the 2nd person singular
- "est" has 3 letters, and is the 3rd person singular
"et" is not a verb conjugation, it is a conjunction that means "and".

Normally, the verb "est" (3rd pers. sing. = "is") is pronounced "è", and is slightly different from the conjunction "et" (= "and"), which sounds like "é".
But please note that:
- In some parts of France, the two are pronounced more or less the same
- our TTS system ("text to speech") pronounces both identically (we will try to fix this asap)
