The word “et” (and) is a conjunction that never changes It can be replaced by “et puis” and would still mean the same thing.
Example :
Il aime l'école et le sport.
Il aime l'école et puis le sport.

The word “est” (is) is simply the verb “être” (to be) conjugated at the third person singular. In order no to be mistaken, it can be replaced by “était” (was)
