The verb “to be”
The irregular verb to be is the most complicated of all the English verbs—and it just so happens to be the most used, too. The to be verbs are am, are, is, was, and were, along with the bare infinitive be, the present participle being, and the past participle been. 
In this guide, we explain all you need to know about grammar for the verb to be. We’ll share all the forms and when to use them and give to be examples for each type of usage. 

What are the to be verbs?

The verb to be means to exist (I am here), to occur (The meeting is Tuesday), or to have the characteristics of something (She was a quiet child). It is the most common verb in English, partly because of its additional uses in grammar: to be verbs can be auxiliary verbs that help create other tenses or linking verbs that help describe the subject of a sentence. 

As an irregular verb, to be has its own unique forms. When conjugated for different subjects or tenses, the verb to be can become am, are, is, was, or were. It’s also written differently in certain verb tenses: The present participle of to be is being. The past participle is been, and the bare infinitive form is be.
