                              Exercises<\/h3>\nThe verb To<\/strong> Be<\/strong> is one of the most commonly used auxiliary verbs in English. When used in its Affirmative form<\/strong>, the verb confirms something about the subject (when we are describing it). To be is often used with nouns, adjectives and prepositional phrases.\n\nThe verb To Be in its Affirmative form has this structure:\nsubject + verb to be <\/strong>(e.g. I am an actress.)\n\nFor example:\n\u2014 \u201cI\u2019m<\/strong> an actress.<\/em>\u201d = The verb confirms a characteristic of the subject.\n\nNOTE: We use the short form in spoken language or informal writings.\n\nLet\u2019s revise this content within the [Form]<\/strong> section. Take a look at the [Example]<\/strong> section that shows its use within a context.\n\n<\/div>","rendered":"

                                                        To Be<\/strong> is used to talk about the characteristics of the subject, for example:<\/p>\n

                                                          \n
                                                        1. age.<\/li>\n
                                                        2. price.<\/li>\n
                                                        3. size.<\/li>\n
                                                        4. shape.<\/li>\n
                                                        5. colour.<\/li>\n

                                                          The short form is used in spoken language or in informal writing. When the subject is a name or noun instead of a pronoun, we use the short form only with the third person singular.<\/p>\n

                                                          For example: (\u201cHis eyes are green. \/ His eyes\u2019re green.\u201d<\/del> > \u201cOur room is pink. \/ Our room\u2019s pink.\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

                                                          The verb To<\/strong> Be<\/strong> is one of the most commonly used auxiliary verbs in English. When used in its Affirmative form<\/strong>, the verb confirms something about the subject (when we are describing it). To be is often used with nouns, adjectives and prepositional phrases.<\/p>\n

                                                          The verb To Be in its Affirmative form has this structure:
                                                          \nsubject + verb to be <\/strong>(e.g. I am an actress.)<\/p>\n

                                                          For example:
                                                          \n\u2014 \u201cI\u2019m<\/strong> an actress.<\/em>\u201d = The verb confirms a characteristic of the subject.<\/p>\n

                                                          NOTE: We use the short form in spoken language or informal writings.<\/p>\n
