Глагол «to be» употребляется в качестве вспомогательного глагола; в качестве глагола-связки, соответствуя в русском языке глаголам быть, являться; в качестве модального глагола и как смысловой глагол быть, находиться.

В отличие от других глаголов, глагол «to be» изменяется по лицам и числам.

Местоимения	Present (настоящее)	Past (прошедшее)	Future (будущее)
I	am	was	shall be	will be
He	is
She
It
We	are	were	shall be
You
They

Примечания:1) В разговорной речи в утвердительной форме в настоящем времени обычно употребляются следующие сокращения:

I am = I'm; he is = he’s; she is = she’s; it is = it’s; we are = we’re; you are = you’re; they are = they’re.

2) Отрицательная форма в настоящем и прошедшем времени образуется при помощи частицы not, которая ставится после глагола. В будущем времени частица notставится после shallиwill. А в разговорной речи обычно используются следующие сокращения:

I shall not be a doctor. = I shan’t be a doctor.
