Unit 2 - BE-Verb

Now that you know the personal pronouns you can make your first sentences in English. All you need is the BE-Verb in the correct form:

    I am

    you are

    she is
    he is
    it is

    we are
    you are
    they are


English is a compact language. Many words have short forms. Below you'll see the short forms of the be-verb.

    I'm

    you're

    she's
    he's
    it's

    we're
    you're
    they're

Are you ready for more? Here comes the negative:

    I am not

    you are not

    she is not
    he is not
    it is not

    we are not
    you are not
    they are not

That was easy, wasn't it? Now, the short forms of the be-verb negative:

    I'm not

    you're not

    she's not
    he's not
    it's not

    we're not
    you're not
    they're not

We'll we aren't through yet. There are two short forms of the be-verb negative. Here's the second one:

    I'm not (same as the first one)

    you aren't

    she isn't
    he isn't
    it isn't

    we aren't
    you aren't
    they aren't

A lot of grammar, isn't it? No worries, in Unit 3 you will already be able to create your personal profile...

Hello Torsten Daerr!
How are you today? Thanks for you about the second email.
I will try to pratise English grammar everyday.
Now i work for the securities company. I graduated in Ha Noi Law University since 2007. As you know, Ha Noi is the capital of Viet Nam. Then i applied for the legal consultant position. My English isn't good enough to work. So i joined this website to learn it better.I hope that i will be a friend of all members here.

Hi this is me Bladimir #7 (permalink) Mon Jun 30, 2008 20:39 pm   Hi this is me Bladimir
 

Hello Everybody I want to ask about this phrase Torsten wrote into this topic.

------We'll we aren't through yet------

I understand it means -- We arenīt done here, or We havenīt finished yet, but I paid special attention to the word "through".

I could write I made many things through my young life, or i was walking through de park.

Hope you get the idea about my question and please post an answer.
Thanks, and someone ask for a mp3, I thing that would be great.

Hi! How are you? Well, do you have a webcam and a MIC?If you do, then we could speak on Skype.You will definitely learn to speak well.Speaking is a skill that needs to be learned.Why not try it?

Dear Torsten,
I'm Hoa. Thanks for your tests. I have done the first test. I'm sorry to join the forum late because of my busy work.

Let me introduce myself, my full name: Quynh Hoa. I have worked for Save the Children USA, Quang Tri field office. I have worked as Finance and operation for more than 4 years. I graduated in Banking Institute in Ho Chi Minh city. Have you been to Viet Nam?

I'm not good in English, so I joined this website two years ago (is it right, I don't remember Smile. But I'm so lazy to take tests due to dates and field site trips. I can not overcome myself. With your new model, with English language coach, hope my English skills be better.

I can't type fast and speak fluently, because I know few vocabulary. so I'm not confident in writing and speaking, especially in speaking.this cause i missed many career opportunities. i practise to think in English before talking and writing but always in Vietnamese first, i don't know how to do this best. can you guide me?

Regards and thanks for your help,
Hoa
