The Present of Be

Sentences have a subject and a verb.

The present of be has three forms: Am, is are.

Use the verb be before nouns, adjectives, or

prepositional phrases.

Some Examples:

- My father is from Venezuela.

- I am a teacher.

- He is a singer.

- They are friends.

BE + NOT

We use be + not to make negatives

statements.

We use contractions in speaking and informal

writing.

I’m not

She is not

They are not

Some Examples:

She is not a good person.

They are not friends.

I’m not from France. (UTPL the present of be ,

2012)

In my opinion the video is very interesting because I can

lear more for this topic and I’m practice these exercises in

my home.
