* "Be" is not a verb on its own. It's more like the base of a verb family.
* The different forms of the verb "be" are:
* am
* is
* are
* was
* were
* been
* being
These forms are used depending on the subject, tense, and whether the verb is in an active or passive voice.
Here's how it works:
* "I am" (present tense, first person singular)
* "She is" (present tense, third person singular)
* "They are" (present tense, third person plural)
* "We were" (past tense, first person plural)
Therefore, "be" is not itself a verb, but rather the root form of a complex verb system in English. It's the base from which we create various forms of the verb to express different tenses and subject-verb agreements.
