Lesson 01

The verb BE

Quick note:

In the simple present tense the verb BE has these three forms:

• I => am
  
  
• She, he, it => is
  
  
• We, you, they => are

We will use these forms in our examples and exercises.

Now, before going over BE as a helping verb, it's important to go over some of its other basic meanings.

In this lesson we will go over two of the meanings of the verb BE.

The meanings of the verb BE:

1. Exists

In this meaning BE usually comes with there:

There is = exists

There are = exist

 

There is a rabbit inside.




There is nothing in the fridge.

There is a problem...

There is a difference between the balloons.

There are crazy people in the world.

2. Happens

The party is tonight.




The meeting is down the hall.




Come, it is over there.
