Ej. I am a student. You are a teacher. She is a manager. They are soldiers. We are clerks.

Formación de interrogantes:
(las preguntas se forman intercambiando la posición del verbo y del sujeto)

	Am I? ¿Soy? ¿Estoy? Are you? ¿Eres? ¿Estás? Is he / she / it? ¿Es? ¿Está? Are we? ¿Somos? ¿Estamos? Are you? ¿Sois? ¿Estáis? Are they? ¿Son? ¿Están?

Ej. Am I a student? Are you a teacher? Is she a manager? Are they soldiers? Are we clerks?

(la negación se forma agregando la palabra "not")

	I am not No soy No estoy You are not No eres No estás He / she / it is not No es No está We are not No somos No estamos You are not No sois No estáis They are not No son No están

Ej. I am not a student. You are not a teacher. She is not a manager. They are not soldiers. We are not clerks.

En el lenguaje informal y cotidiano se utilizan abreviaciones.

Abreviaciones:

	I am = I'm (I'm a boy.) You are = You're (You're from Poland.) He is = He's (He's a policeman.) She is = She's (She's guilty.) It is = It's (It's an egg.) We are = We're (We're from the USA.) You are = You're (You're too fast for me.) They are = They're (They're from Poland.) I am not = I'm not (I'm not a student.) You are not = You aren't (You aren't from Poland.) He is not = He isn't (He isn't a policeman.) She is not = She isn't (She isn't guilty.) It is not = It isn't (It isn't my car.) We are not = We aren't (We aren't from the USA.) You are not = You aren't (You aren't my parents.) They are not = They aren't (They aren't black.)

Algunas abreviaciones tienen dos formas: She isn't o She's not Ambas formas son correctas y regularmente usadas.

Reglas para el uso del artículo definido "a / an"

Se usa el artículo indefinido "a / an" antes de cualquier sustantivo que cumpla estas condiciones:

1. Cuando hay sólo uno
   Ej. a boy, a car, a flat (pero en plural: boys, cars, flats)
   
   
2. Cuando son contables
   Ej. a girl, a year, an apple (pero: water, salt, coffee, tea - porque estos sustantivos son incontables)
   
   
3. Aparecen en la forma contable cuando son usados por primera vez y el interlocutor no los conoce.

Cuándo se usa "a" y cuándo "an"?

Esta es una pregunta importante. Las dos palabras significan lo mismo, pero:

La palabra "a" se utiliza antes de sustantivos que comienzan con una consonante sonora
(Ej. a university, a girl, a dog),
Mientras que "an" se utiliza antes de sustantivos que comienzan con una vocal sonora
(Ej. an elephant, an hour).

¡Recuerda que las palabras en inglés a menudo se escriben de una forma, pero se pronuncian de otra!
