                                                                          TO BE

• ‘TO BE’ is basic verb that we use when we want to qualify objects around us and specify their properties, locations. When you set up a sentence in English, a verb is always There is no sentence in which there is no verb.
• A verb cannot be seen at first glance like sentences ‘Mary is fat’ or ‘Jane is beautiful’ . These are noun and adjective verbs in Turkish grammar. However, there are no constructions such as noun and adjective verbs in English. So when we set up nouns and adjective clauses, we fill this void with verb ‘ to be’ .
• In short, ‘ TO BE’ specifies either the object or the object that characterizes the adjective. TO BE clauses aren’t definitely an action clauses. It cannot describe any structure that contains motion, acceleration.
• To be + adjective

John is handsome.

• To be + noun

Mary is a teacher.

• To be + there is no definitely verb
