Resumão sobre o verbo "to be"!

O verbo To Be (ser/estar) é um dos primeiros verbos aos quais o aluno de inglês é apresentado. E não é por menos, é um verbo importante por se tratar de um verbo auxiliar. E porque é importante, virou THREAD! Bora?
Primeiramente, o que seria um verbo auxiliar?

O verbo auxiliar, como o próprio nome indica, auxilia na estrutura da frase quando a transformamos em negação e interrogação. E isso porque a partícula NOT (não) precisa estar acompanhada de um verbo auxiliar para entrar na frase.
E aí começa uma pequena mudança de paradigma, pois em português transformamos uma frase em negativa apenas pela inclusão do “não” antes de qualquer verbo.
Conjugação do verbo To Be no Present Simple:

I ……….am
You ……are
He ……..is
She …….is
It ……….is
We …….are
You ……are
They …..are
Negação

I am not – I’m not
You are not – aren’t ou you’re not
He is not – isn’t ou he’s not
She is not – isn’t ou she’s not
It is not – isn’t ou It’s not
We are not – aren’t ou we’re not
You are not – aren’t ou you’re not
They are not – aren’t ou they’re not
Interrogação

Am I?
Are you?
Is he?
Is she?
Is it?
Are we?
Are you?
Are They?
Olha só o exemplo:

She is my sister …….. Ela é minha irmã
She is NOT my sister……. Ela não é minha irmã

O verbo to be, já presente na frase, facilitou as coisas. De maneira que tudo o que eu preciso fazer é colocar o not APÓS o verbo, e não antes, como fazemos em português.
Existe a possibilidade de colocar o apóstrofo e encurtar:

She’s my sister / She’s not my sister / She isn’t my sister
E na interrogativa?

Para passar uma frase com o verbo to be na interrogativa basta “puxar” o verbo para frente do sujeito ou pronome:

She is your sister – Ela é tua irmã
Is she your sister? – Ela é tua irmã?

Simples assim!
ATENÇÃO

Na primeira pessoa do singular, o verbo to be não se funde com o NOT, mas com o pronome:

I am a student – Eu sou um estudante
I’m not a student – Eu não sou um estudante
Conjugação do verbo To Be no Past Simple
