1. Overview:
"To be" questions are used to ask about people, places, and things. They help us find out information. We use the verb "to be" to make these questions.
2. Cases of Usage:
Case 1: Asking about identity.
Example: "Are you a student?"
Case 2: Asking about location.
Example: "Is she at home?"
Case 3: Asking about feelings or states.
Example: "Are they happy?"
Case 4: Asking about time.
Example: "Is it 3 o'clock?"
3. Exceptions or Things to Pay Attention To:
When we ask questions, we change the order of the words. The verb "to be" comes before the subject.
Example: "He is tall." becomes "Is he tall?"
4. Additional Notes:
Remember to use "am," "is," or "are" based on the subject. Use "am" with "I," "is" with he, she, or it, and "are" with you, we, or they.
