Understanding the Verb "To Be"

The verb "to be" is essential in English. It can mean "is," "am," or "are." Let’s look at how we can use "to be" in sentences.

Positive Sentences

In positive sentences, we use "to be" to say something that is true about a person or thing. Here are some examples:

• I am happy.
• You are my friend.
• He is a teacher.
• She is a doctor.
• They are students.

Negative Sentences

In negative sentences, we use "to be" to say something is not true. We add "not" after the verb. Let’s see some examples:

• I am not sad.
• You are not late.
• He is not in the classroom.
• She is not my sister.
