The Verb "To Be" (am, is, are)
In English, we use "am", "is", and "are" to talk about who we are, what things are, and how things are.
**Rules:**
- **I** → always use **am**
- **He / She / It** → always use **is**
- **We / You / They** → always use **are**
Think of it like this:
- "am" is only for **I** (myself)
- "is" is for **one person or thing** (not yourself)
- "are" is for **more than one, or "you"**
Examples
I am a student.
She is from Vancouver.
They are my friends.
The coffee is hot.
💡 Common mistake: Don't say "I is" or "She am". In Hindi we use "है" for everything, but in English, the verb changes!
