Be verb-USAGE Be helps the other verb denote the time of the action Examples: 1. I am going to the circus >>present 2. The boy was feeling tired >>past
>> Be and verb work together to complete the meaning of the sentence and denote the time of the action. >> Verbs ending in -ing are always made up of more than one word >> Be-am,are,is,was,were-always comes before the main verb >> Be-am,are,is was,were-can be simply used or their own as main verbs that denote the state or condition of a person or thing.
