THE VERBS TO BE, TO HAVE

THE VERB TO BE

Present Past Future

Per son Sin gular Per son Plu ral Per son Sin gular Per son Plu ral Per son Sin gular Per son Plural
  I   am   we   are   I   was   we   were   I   will be   we   will be
      you   are       you   were       you   will be
he she it   is   they   are he she it   was   they   were he she it   will be   they   will be

 

In affirmative sentences the form of the verb to be immediately follows the subject:

She is a student. They were at home. I will be there.

In interrogative sentences the form of the verb to be is placed before the subject: Is he your brother? Were you married?

In negative sentences the negative particle not is placed after the form of the verb to be:

I am not a doctor. We were not ready.

In the future the verb will is placed before the subject in interrogative sentences and the negative particle not is placed after the verb will in negative sentences: Will you be at home? It will not be good.

The functions of the verb to be

The verb to be can perform the following functions in the sentence:

1. that of a notional verb:

He is here. I was at home. You will be at the library.

2. that of an auxiliary verb (to form tenses in the active and passive voice):

They are running very fast (the present continuous tense).

Were you reading when the telephone rang? (the past continuous tense)

The doctor was sent for (passive voice).

The capital of China is called Beijing. (passive voice)

3. that of a modal verb:

We were to meet at the station at five (expresses arrangement or agreement, part of a plan).

You are to stay at home till your mother comes ( expresses orders and instructions).

4. that of a link verb in the compound nominal predicate where the nominal part may be expressed by a noun, an adjective, a pronoun, a numeral, etc.:

He is a pupil. The sea is beautiful. We are four. It was he.

5. The verb to be is used to talk about mental or physical condition:

to be hungry (thirsty, warm, hot, cold, sleepy, afraid, lucky, right, wrong).

6. The verb to be is used to talk about age, height, weight, length, size, shape, colour:

Im nearly forty. He is six feet tall. The room is 10 metres long. What size are your shoes? What colour are his eyes?

7. The verb to beis used in the construction there + to be:

There is a radiator under the window.

Note! The sentence There is a table in the room is more often used than The table is in the room.

8. The verb to be is not used in the continuous form.

But we can use the structure I am being/you are being + adjective/noun to talk about actions and behaviour in a particular situation, but not to talk about feelings:

Youre being stupid = Youre doing stupid things.

I was being very careful = I was doing something very carefully.

But: I am happy (a feeling). I was very depressed when you phoned (a feeling).

9. Normally be is used without the auxiliary do: Im not often sick.

But do is used to make negative imperative sentences with be (when we tell smb. not to do smth.)

Dont be silly! Dont be such a nuisance!

And do be can begin emphatic sentences:

Do be careful! Do be quiet, for Gods sake!
