In conversation and informal writing, we use contractions :

I’m a doctor - You’re late. -  Bejo’s in jakarta. -  The shop’s open - We’re ready.

To make questions (?) with be, we put the verb before the subject

Statement (+)	I am late	The car is here	We are late.	Your keys are in the car
Question (?)	Am I late ?	Is the car here ?	Are we late ?	Are my keys in the car

Do you know all these question words ?

Who  – What - when - where – why – how

Contractions with is : who’s – what’s – when’s – where’s – how’s – why’s

Who’s that ? -  What’s this? – When’s the party ? – Where’s the station? – Why are we here ?

How are you ?

To make negative (-) sentences with be, we put not after am/are/is or ’m, ’re, ’s.

I am not sundanese. – we are not ready. - I’m not tired. -  She’s not here. – They’re not my friends.

We can also make contractions with n’t : you aren’t, she isn’t, etc (BUT NOT I amn’t).

We often use be with : hungry, thirsty, cold, hot, right, wrong, afraid, interested, what colour?, what size? And be with ages.

Have you got anything to eat ? – I’m hungry. – I’m cold – It’s very hot here in summer.

It’s late. – You’re right. – Let’s go. – Are you afraid of spiders ? – What colour is her hair ?

What size are your shoes ? – How old are you? – I’m 17. – I’m interested in politics.
