I am · you / we / they are · he / she / it is.
In speech we usually use short forms: I'm, you're, he's, it's, we're, they're. Negative: add not — I'm not, he isn't, they aren't. Question: put the verb first — Are you tired?
| positive | short form | negative | question | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | I am | I'm | I'm not | Am I…? |
| you / we / they | you are | you're | you aren't | Are you…? |
