What to Focus On

  • Be is used as both a main verb and an auxiliary.
  • Be has the same form whether it is used as the main verb or as an auxiliary.
  • Short forms are commonly used in conversation.

  • Have is used as both a main verb and an auxiliary.
  • As a main verb, have expresses possession.
  • have/has got is accepted as simple present tense of have.

  • The root form is used in simple present, except with third person singular subjects.
  • Third person singular subjects take -s or -es.
  • don't and doesn't are the short negative forms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Be has one fixed form, so am, is, and are can be used anywhere without checking the subject.

The short form of 'am I not?' is 'amn't I?'

Have always means the same as have a possession, so it can be changed into the present continuous in every sentence.

Memory Tips

Be as main verb and auxiliary

Same form of be in all uses

Irregular short form of am I not

Have as possession
