Grammar
Verb be
Para empezar, debemos señalar que en español tenemos dos
verbos diferentes, el verbo ser y el verbo estar, y ambos son
"independientes". En inglés usamos un solo verbo para expresar
ambos sentidos y su significado dependerá del contexto. Este
verbo es el verbo “be”, que significa ser y estar.
ex.:
I am tall (yo soy alto)
I am working now (yo estoy trabajando ahora)
Aunque el verbo es “be", no dirás “she be”, o “they be”.
El verbo be tiene tres formas:
Am
Is
Are
¿Cuándo usará cada uno de estas formas?
Is
Se usará cuando sea "él", en el caso inglés “he". Cuando es
"ella", en el caso “she“ y cuando es algo, alguna cosa o
animal, en el caso "it"
Ex: It is blue. (es azul)
She is happy. (ella está feliz)
Ps: también podría decir que ella es feliz, depende del
contexto
Are
Cuando es "usted" o "ustedes", en el caso inglés, “you",
usaremos “are"
Ex.: You are tall.
You are happy.
"Are" también se usará cuando sea "nosotros", en este
caso, “we“. O si vas a usar "ellos“, en este caso “they”
Ex: We are students. (Nosotros somos estudiantes
They are smarts. (Ellos son inteligentes)
Contractions

Interrogative
Hacer una pregunta usando el verbo “be” es muy simple, lo que solo implica invertir el
pronombre con el verbo.
Am I happy?
Is she tall?
Is he working now?
Is it working?
Are you peruvian?
Are we talking out loud?
Are they angry?
Negative
Ahora veamos otra parte importante del verbo “be”, que es negar. Para hacer esto,
todo lo que tendrá que hacer es agregar un “not”, justo después de la declaración.
Para que quede claro, vea los ejemplos:
I am not interested in this book.
You are not my friend.
She is not working today.
He is not here.
It is not cold outside.
We are not doing anything.
They are not our parents.
Contractions
I’m not
She isn’t
He isn’t
It isn’t
You aren’t
We aren’t
They aren’t
