To Be (Let's start from the beginning!)

Si quieres empezar a aprender inglés el primer paso es aprenderse el verbo TO BE. Más adelante comprobarás que éste verbo puede realizar la función de verbo auxiliar para formar otros tiempos verbales.
Su significado es "ser, estar o tener". Éste último significado se utiliza para hablar de la edad: I am fourteen years old y NO I have fourteen years old.

Éstas son sus formas en PRESENT SIMPLE:
Affirmative = Sujeto + am/is/are
I am - (I'm)
You are - (You're)
He/She/It is - (He's/She's/It's)
We/You/ They are - (We're/You're/They're)

Negative = Sujeto + am/is/are + not
I am not - (I'm not)
You are not - (You're not/You aren't)
He/She/It is not - (He's not/He isn't)
We/You/They are not - (We're not/We aren't; They're not/They aren't)

Interrogative = am/is/are + Sujeto (¡acuerdate de que invertimos el orden!)
Am I?
Are you?
Is he/she/it?
Are we/you/they?

Aquí tienes también sus formas en PAST SIMPLE:
Affirmative = Sujeto + was/were
I was
You were
He/She/It was
We/You/They were

Negative = Sujeto + was/were + not
I was not (I wasn't)
You were not - (You weren't)
He/She/It was not - (He wasn't)
We/You/They were not - (We weren't)

Interrogative = Was/Were + Sujeto
Was I?
Were you?
Was he/she/it?
Were we/you/they?
