He
She
It
Plural

They
2. Verb "to be"
The verb "be" means to exist.
It is a linking verb, it links a subject and a thing connected with that subject.
The present simple forms of "to be" are as follow:
Singular
I am
You are
He is
She is
It is
Plural
We are
You are
They are
3. First Sentences
English is a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) language - meaning that sentences are made with the subject first, then the verb, and finally the object. Using the above grammar we can now make basic English sentences, for example:
- I am a teacher
- She is happy
- They are students
Languages like French and Chinese are also SVO languages, but other languages are different. For example, Japanese, Korean and Persian are Subject-Object-Verb languages, so you wouldn't say "She is happy", you'd say "She happy is"!
