Simple sentence like examples below, should be put “be”, because there is no verb in the sentence. To make it clear; If a sentence that contains noun but doesn’t contain verb should use “be”.
Present tense
I am a doctor.
He is a writer.
She is a beautiful girl.
It is a computer.
We are employees.
She is a beautiful girl.
It is a computer.
We are employees.
You are a student.
They are leaders.
Past tense
I was a doctor
He was a writer
She is a beautiful girl
It was a computer
We Were employees
You Were a student
They Were leaders
Negative sentence, to make negative sentence, we just add “not” after the “be”:
Present tense Past tense
I am not a doctor i was not a doctor
She is not a beautiful girl she was not a beautiful girl
We are not employees we were not employees
Interrogative sentence, we place “be” at the beginning of the sentence
Present tense Past tense
Am i a doctor? Was i a doctor?
Is he a writer? Was he a writer?
Are they leaders? Were they leaders?
The formulas are:
Positive: subject + be + noun
Negative: subject + be + not + noun
