| Tema: Verb To be: 1st part (am/are/is) Lun Mar 19, 2007 5:48 pm | |
| - Citación :
- Be (am/are/is/)
- We can use adjectives, nouns or expressions of place after be.
- Use Capital letter. e.g: I'm your mother.
You = singular and plural.
Use he for a man, she for a woman, and it for a thing.
Use they for people and things.
In contractions ' = a missing letter, e.g. 'm = am.
Use contractions in conversation.
Positive sentences: Subject + verb to be + adjective(s)
She is late - She's late I am hungry - I'm hungry They are pilots - There're pilots
Negatives: Subject + verb to be + not + adjectives.
She is not late = She isn't late I am not hungry = I'm not hungry They are not pilots = They arent's pilots.
Questions : Verb to be + subject + adjectives.
Is she late? Am I hungry? Are they pilots?
Remember:
- Put not after the verb to make negative -
- You can also contract are not and is not like this:
- You are not italian = You're not Italian = You aren't Italian.
</li>
- In questions, put be before you, he, ect.
We use a special structure with be - there is/ there are - to introduce things: to say that they exist. Forms: there is/there are + verb to be + adjectives
There is a strange woman at the door - There's a strange woman at the door.
There are many room here - There're many rooms here.
