Examples of How to Use ‘Be’ in a Sentence

To make a negative sentence use ‘be’ + ’not’.

Use the same rules for subjects such as your friend John, or your cat.

If the subject is one (1) person or thing, you use the singular form of ‘be’. This is the same form you use for ‘he’, ‘she’ and ‘it’.

If the subject is more than one (2+) person or thing, you use the plural form of ‘be’. This is the same form you use for ’they’.
