says his morning prayer and makes his bed. Then,
Luis takes a bath. After that, he puts on his uniform,
socks, and shoes. He then eats the breakfast that
his mother prepares every morning. After
breakfast, he brushes his teeth. He then waits for
his school bus. The bus comes at exactly six in the
morning. By half past six, Luis arrives at school.
Verbs
Verbs
Verbs describe an action or
state of being. Verbs that state
an action are action verbs.
 Am, is, was, are, and were are verbs of
being. They are called be verbs. The verb is is
used with singular subjects, which can be
nouns or pronouns. The verb are is used with
plural subjects. The pronoun I is always used
with am. You, which can be singular or plural,
is always used with are. The be verbs also
express time. Am, is, and are are used in the
present tense. Was and were are their past
tense forms.

express actions that are done every day
