Am, is and are

Introduce yourself, describe someone and talk about how you feel. Start with three small words that make complete English sentences.

Understand the idea

Use am with I, is with he/she/it or one person or thing, and are with you/we/they or more than one. Put not after am, is or are: I am not tired. The bag is not heavy. You are not late. In conversation, is not can become isn’t and are not can become aren’t. Move the helping word to the front: You are ready becomes Are you ready? Answer Yes, I am or No, I am not.

See a worked example

I am ready. / Riya is happy. / We are friends.

A useful check

Match the verb to I, even when you are talking about only one person.
