The verb be: am / is / are
Explanation
The verb be links a subject to who or what it is. It changes with the subject: I am, you are, he/she/it is, we/they are. In everyday speech it contracts onto the subject: I'm, you're, he's, she's, it's, we're, they're. English ALWAYS needs be — you cannot say "I a student"; it must be "I am a student" / "I'm a student".
Examples
- I'm Alex. I am a student.I'm Alex. I am a student.
- You're my friend.You're my friend.
- She's a person. He's here.She's a person. He's here.
