Grammar Summary
Pronouns
.A pronoun replaces a noun
A subject pronoun is used as the subject of the sentence. There are singular and plural subject pronouns
Be (Present)
.The verb be is very common in English. It is used with a noun or an adjective
For example: with a noun
Ben is a boy
:with an adjective
Moby is tall
I am fine
In the present, be has three forms: am, is and are
In the short form (contraction), we write the noun, pronoun or question word together with the verb be (am, is, are) as one word. We do that by dropping the first letter (am, is, are) and writing an apostrophe ( ‘ ) instead of the missing letters
For example: Moby is tall. = Moby’s tall
We are fine. = We’re fine
