Contextualization

Hello, class! Let's embark on a great adventure through the world of verbs! Did you know that verbs are like little magicians that help us tell actions, states, and even feelings? Well, and one of the first and most important verbs we're going to learn is 'to be'.

Maybe you've already heard about 'to be' in English classes, but what does it really mean? 'To be' is a verb that we use to talk about being, existing, and even to talk about feelings. It is essential for building correct sentences in English.

Theoretical Introduction

'To be' is a special verb because it changes its form depending on the pronoun that accompanies it. For example, instead of saying "I am", we say "I am" in English. For the third person singular, instead of saying "He is", we say "He is".

In addition, 'to be' is also used to indicate states. For example, instead of saying "I'm tired", we say "I'm tired". It is also used to express feelings, such as "I'm happy" which in English we say "I'm happy".

Now that we know a little more about 'to be', it's time to put that knowledge into practice. And how are we going to do that? With an amazing project that will help us understand and use 'to be' in a fun and creative way.
