Koman yo itilize TO BE o prezan ak o pase lan tout fòm yo an anglè

O prezan vèb TO BE a ekri konsa lan fòm afimatif: am, is, are. Sa vle di, yo di,

I am, 

he, she, it (is)

You, we, they (are)

O pase li ekri konsa lan fòm afimatif:

I was, 

he, she, it (was)

You, we, they (were)

Sa vle di, am chanje an was, is chanje an was ak are chanje an were o pase.

Pou fè fòm negatif la, li fasil, ou annit aplike fòmil sa: 

sijè + to be ( am, is, are) + not.

O pase  menm bagay la: sijè + to be ( was , were) + not.

Ex: i   am not. / she is not. / you are not.

Fòm entpewogatif la ekri konsa:

 To be ( am, is, are) + sijè ?

Ex: is she? / am i? are you?

Pou fè yon fraz konplè, ou dwe mete yon konplemen objè lan nenpòt fòm lan. 

Ex: Entèwogatif: Are you Robert?     Afimatif: I am Natacha.   Negatif: They are not student.
