CLEAR EXPLANATION
What does “to be” mean?
To be means бути, являтися, перебувати . In English we use it when we say who somebody is, what something is, how somebody feels or where somebody is.
She is happy.
Вона щаслива.They are at school.
Вони у школі.
💡
English sentences need a verb. We cannot say “I happy.” We say: I am happy.
