Формы глагола to be

I am in the room.
Я нахожусь в комнате.

The book is on the table.
Книга лежит на столе.

В данных примерах глагол to be является самостоятельным глаголом. Так же, как и в русском языке, глагол to be может быть глаголом-связкой в именном сказуемом (в значении "есть").

В отличие от русского языка, в английском языке глагол-связка никогда не опускается, поскольку английское предложение имеет строго фиксированный порядок слов: подлежащее (subject) +сказуемое (verb) + дополнение (object)

I am a doctor.
Я врач. (Я есть врач.)

The weather is bad.
Погода плохая.

They are from Paris.
Они из Парижа.

Итак, глагол-связка to be в английском предложении никогда не опускается, т. к. он входит в именное сказуемое, и его место после подлежащего. На русский же язык глагол to be в данных случаях не переводится:

I am happy.
Я счастлив.

The book is interesting.
Книга интересная.

He is our teacher.
Он наш учитель.

Глагол to be не требует вспомогательного глагола для образования вопросительной или отрицательной формы.

Чтобы задать вопрос нужно поставить глагол to be перед подлежащим:

Am I happy?
Is the book interesting?
Is he our teacher?

Для образования отрицательной формы достаточно поставить отрицательную частицу not после глаголаto be:

I am not happy.
The book is not interesting.
He is not our teacher.

В разговорной речи отрицательная частица not часто сливается с глаголом to be, образуя сокращения:

is not = isn't
are not = aren't

Также глагол to be может сокращаться, сливаясь с личным местоимением:

НЕ нашли? Не то? Что вы ищете?

I am = I'm
We are = we're
He is = he's
