Hello, today I bring a very useful information about a topic that is very used in this beautiful language, I hope you enjoy it, don't forget to share it with your friends or with people who may need it.

 

The verb to Be is an irregular verb that has its own way to conjugate in simple present, it is normally used for making descriptions or for mentioning the location of a place, person or an animal, here we are going to need adjectives.

 

          IS                            ARE                             AM

He               It              You           We                     I

         She                            They

 

Structures:

(For making descriptions)

(+)  Pron  +  aux verb  +  Adjective

(-)  Pron  +  aux verb  +  not  +  Adjective

(?)  aux verb  +  Pron  +  Adjective?

 

Ex

You are little

You are not (aren't) little

Are you little?

* The negation could be contracted in this way (isn't - Aren't) but the recoomendation is to put them separately, because it is more formal.
