Card 1Introduction to Verbs

What are 'is', 'are', and 'am' called in English grammar?

Answer

'Is', 'are', and 'am' are helping words called verbs. They tell us about the state or condition of someone or something. We use them to say who or what exists or does something.

Card 2Use of Am

When do we use 'am' in a sentence?

Answer

We use 'am' only with the word 'I'. It shows that something is true about me. For example: 'I am happy.' 'I am a student.'

Card 3Use of Am

Fill in the blank: I ___ playing.

I am playing. We always use 'am' with 'I'.

Card 4Use of Is

When do we use 'is' in a sentence?

We use 'is' with singular subjects like 'he', 'she', 'it', 'this', 'that', or any single person or thing. For example: 'She is a teacher.' 'It is an egg.'

Card 5Use of Is

Choose the correct word: He ___ dancing.

Answer

He is dancing. We use 'is' with 'he', 'she', or 'it'.

Card 6Use of An

Why do we say 'It is an apple' and not 'It is a apple'?

Answer

We use 'an' before words that start with a vowel sound like 'apple'. Since 'apple' starts with the 'a' sound, we say 'an apple'. So, 'It is an apple' is correct.

Answer

We use 'are' with plural subjects like 'we', 'you', 'they', 'these', 'those', or more than one person or thing. For example: 'They are playing.' 'You are smart.'
