Hi Everyone!
Most of you are already familiar with BE basics: I am...You are...etc. But, BE can be used in quite a few advanced structures that you may not see in your standard grammar book.
In today's lesson I explain each structure step-by-step. Don't forget to take the test at the end of the lesson and let me know how you did! Did you get 9/9? 8/9? 2/9???
