Supporting Verbs | Present Tense — is, am, are

Short, friendly lesson for kids + interactive test. Learn when to use is, am, and are with clear examples and instant feedback.

Present Tense supporting Verbs (with is / am / are)?

We use is / am / are as the present form of the verb "to be". They describe people, things, places, feelings, and facts happening now.

Short rule:
  • I + am (I am happy.)
  • He / She / It + is (He is a boy. / It is cold.)
  • You / We / They / Plural Nouns + are (You are kind. / They are students.)

More examples

  • I am a teacher. → am
  • She is my sister. → is
  • They are in the park. → are
  • It is a red ball. → is
  • We are ready. → are
Quick tip: Ask one simple question to decide — Who is the subject? If it is "I", use am. If it is one person or thing (he/she/it), use is. If it is more than one person or you say "you", use are.

When not to use - remember

  • Don't use "am" with he / she / it / you / we / they.
  • Don't use "is" with I / they / you / we.
