Use of the simple present of to be

The principal use of the simple present is to refer to an action or event that takes place habitually, but with
the verb "to be" the simple present tense also refers to a present or general state, whether temporary,
permanent or habitual.

I am happy.

She is helpful.

The verb to be in the simple present can be also used to refer to something that is true at the present
moment.

She is 20 years old.

He is a student.

Remember:

I, you, he, she, it, you, they are subject pronouns (also called personal pronouns, a term used to
include both subject and object pronouns.)
 am, are, is are forms of the verb to be in the simple present.

'm, 're, 's are short (contracted) forms of am, are, is

'm not, aren't, isn't are short (contracted forms) of am not, are not, is not.

Possessive adjectives
Possessive adjectives - my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their - modify the noun following it in order to
show possession.
Examples:
I'll get my bag.
Is this your luggage?
Subject I You He She It We You They
pronouns
Possesive My Your His Her Its Our Your Their
adjectives

a/an/the
English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular
nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We
call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite article.
the = definite article
a/an = indefinite article

For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book. If I say, "Let's read a book," I
mean any book rather than a specific book.
Remember, using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word. So...
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog
an + singular noun beginning with a
vowel: an elephant; an egg; an apple; an idiot; an orphan
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e.
begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is used); a university; a unicycle
an + nouns starting with silent "h": an hour
a + nouns starting with a pronounced "h": a horse

Question words
Question words are also called wh questions because they include the letters 'W' and 'H'.
