Present simple forms of 'to be' - am/is/are

Exercise 1

Choose the correct present simple forms of 'to be' for the gaps below.

The present simple form of be

The present simple of the verb be has three forms:

I am.

He/She/It is.

We/You/They are.

they= people and things

We use he for a man, she for a woman, and it for a thing.

He 's a little boy.

She 's beautiful.

We use they for people and for things.

Don't forget the subject

We always need a subject before the verb.

It is cold. (NOT Is cold.)

Sally is a wonderful woman. (NOT Is a wonderful woman.)

Contractions or short forms

We use 'm, 's and ' re with personal pronouns ( I, you, he, etc.)

But we can also use 's with names.

Contractions in short answers

We can only use contractions in negative short answers. Not in positive short answers.

Yes, I am. (NOT Yes, I'm.)

Yes, she is . (NOT Yes, she's.)

Yes, they are . (NOT Yes, they're.)

be - present simple use

We use the verb be to talk about:

Who we are: I'm Steven, and this is Isabella. And this is my daughter, Alicia.

Stative Verbs

Stative or non-action verbs are verbs that describe a state or condition rather than an action. As a state has no real beginning or end, stative verbs are only used with simple and perfect tenses. They cannot be used with continuous tenses.

These are some of the most common verbs that refer to states or conditions, so they are stative verbs.

Possession and size.

Examples: belong, own, have (meaning 'possess'), possess, weigh, measure.

Ali owns th ree cars.

Ali is owning three cars.

Opinion

Examples: know, believe agree, think (meaning 'believe' or 'have an opinion'), imagine, understand.

I know what the answer is.

I am knowing what the answer is.

Likes and dislikes, feelings and emotions.

Examples: like, love, want, need, wish, prefer, dislike.

Sam likes vegetables.

Sam is liking vegetables.

Perception and the senses.

Examples: sound, hear, seem, see*, appear*, look*, taste*, smell*, feel*.

You sound sad.

You are sounding sad.

* Although they are usually used as stative verbs, these verbs can also be dynamic when they are used to describe voluntary actions, not perceptions.

Dynamic Verbs

Dynamic verbs are verbs which describe an action, change or process that has a beginning and an end. They are the most common type of verb and can be used in all tenses and aspects.

When referring to an action that is or was in progress, we use dynamic verbs with a continuous tense.

However, when referring to habits or things that are always true, we use them with a simple tense.

Here are some common verbs that refer to actions, not states, so they are dynamic and can be used in both simple and continuous tenses: eat, run, swim, speak, talk, walk, sleep, make, cook, come, go, buy, sit, watch, listen, do, play, say, read, write, stand, bring, take, give, jump, drive, ride, climb, fly, fall, cry, drink, send, kiss, wear, smell*, taste*, feel*, look*.

* These are often stative verbs but they can be used in continuous forms when they are voluntary actions.

Verbs which are both stative and dynamic

Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic. Here are some common examples.

Have

Have, meaning 'to possess', describes a state, so it is a stative verb.

But when have doesn't mean 'to possess', it describes an action, so it is a dynamic verb.

Be

The verb be is normally used to describe a state, so it is a stative verb.

But when be means 'to act or behave', it describes an action, so it is a dynamic verb.

Think

Think, meaning 'to believe' or 'to have an opinion', describes a state, so it is a stative verb.

Think, meaning 'to use your brain to reflect", is an action, so it is a dynamic verb

Look

Look, meaning 'to appear', is a state, so it is a stative verb.

Look, meaning 'to focus the eyes on something', is an action, so it is a dynamic verb.

Taste, see, smell, feel

Although they are usually classified as stative, some verbs of the senses (e.g., taste, see, smell, feel) can also be dynamic when they refer to voluntary actions and not perceptions.

Tom is seeing Katie this afternoon. (Voluntary action meaning 'to meet or visit someone')

22 English Adjectives Every Beginner Should Know

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
English adjectives are an important part of your vocabulary, allowing you to describe something’s qualities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Comparative and superlative adjectives

The comparative form

We use the comparative form of the adjective to compare two things.

Less ... than

We can also use the form less + adjective + than. Less is the opposite of more.

(Not) as ... as

We can also use the form (not) as + adjective + as.

Peter isn't as considerate as Marta. (=Marta is more considerate)

Than me / than I am

After than or as ... as we use an object pronoun ( me, you, him, etc.) or a subject pronoun ( I, you, he, she, etc.) + auxiliary verb.

Much/a lot/a bit more...

Before the comparative ( more or -er) we can use much, a lot or a bit.

Any/no more than

We can use any/ no + comparative ( any better, no faster, any more expensive, etc.). We use any in negative sentences and no with positive verbs.

Superlative adjectives

We use the superlative form of an adjective or adverb to compare more than two things.

The most... in...

After the superlative we use in + names of places or singular words for groups of people (class, school, team, family, etc.)

We normally use of + periods of time or a number of people ( of the year, of my life, of my brothers, of the students, etc.).

The most... I have ever...

We often use the superlative with the present perfect tense and ever.

The/my/Tom's best ...

Before the superlative we always use the, or my/your/his/etc. or Tom's/Jenny's/etc.)

The least

The opposite of the most is the least

Comparing actions with adverbs

We can use the comparative or superlative form of adverbs to compare actions.

With adverbs ending in - ly, you must always use more to form the comparative, and most to form the superlative

For adverbs that that have the same form as adjectives, the comparative and superlative forms are like adjectives: add - er to form the comparative and - est to form the superlative. The most common of these adverbs are: late-later, early-earlier, fast-faster, hard-harder, long-longer.
