Grammar Focus
Subject pronouns replace nouns and make sentences shorter. The be verbs am, is, and are must match the subject:
- I am, you/we/they are, he/she/it is.
Examples:
- She is a nurse.
- We are students.
This structure is used for basic descriptions, identities, feelings, and states.
Why This Grammar Matters for Listening and Speaking
Mastering be verbs helps learners participate in daily interactions. They appear frequently in:
- Introductions (“I am Anna.”)
- Status updates (“He is tired.”)
- Questions (“Are they ready?”)
Clear subject-verb agreement improves both comprehension and fluency in everyday English.
