The verb to be: am /is /are
The verb to be is used to say something about a person, thing or state of things to show a
permanent or temporary quality state of things job or occupation.

The verb to be goes after mentioning a personal pronoun either its positive form or the negative
one.

Positive form: Negative form

For talking about someone’s age and someone’s occupation we also use the verb to be, and it is
done by using the combination of words years old after the verb to be.

Examples to express age:

Maria is 24 years old. María tiene 24 años.

I am 20 years old. Yo tengo 20 años.

Examples to express someone’s occupation.
