2. “be” precedding adjectives
Now, since simple sentence that doesn’t have any verb, we need to put “be” as the verb. That is why “be” is called as helping verb.
Present tense
I am hungry.
He is fat.
She is pretty.
It is clean. .
We are happy.
She is pretty.
It is clean. .
We are happy.
You are clever.
They are upset.
They are upset.
Past tense
I was hungry.
He was fat.
He was fat.
She was pretty.
It was clean
We were happy.
You were clever.
They were upset.
All negative sentences, just simply added “not” after the helping verbs. Fur further explanation look at my explanation entitled “be”
Present tense
I am not hungy
I am not hungy
It is not clean
You are not clever .
Past tense
I was not hungry
It was not clean
You were not clever
If you are smart enough, you will see that all introgatif sentences have their helping verb infront or before subject.
Present tense
Is he fat?
Are we happy?
Past tense
Was he fat?
were we happy?
The formulas are:
Positif: subject + be + adjective
Negatif: subject + be + not + adjective
Interogatif: be + subject + adjective
