• The verb to be is one of the most important in English because it allows us to express identity, age, profession, nationality, state, and place.
• It is an irregular verb, so its forms change depending on the subject (am, is, are in the present; was, were in the past).
• It is essential to master its affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms in order to build sentences correctly.
