The words is, am, are, was, were, help us to say something about the noun or pronoun. These words are also called Verbs. They say or tell what a person, animal or thing is. Was/were show past activity i.e. what happened in the past. We use was as the past form of am and is. We use were as the past form of are.
Study this:
| I | am |
ten years old. |
| We
You They The girls The boys |
are |
|
| She
He Mary Jack |
is |
- We use is with he, she, it, this, that and singular nouns like Mary, Jack, boy, girl, etc. We write is for one.
- Am is always used with I.
- We use are with we, you, they, these, those and plural nouns like boys, students, children, animals etc. We write are for many.
- Are/were is also used with you when it is singular. Example:
Teacher: Mary, you are a good girl.
Teacher: Mary, why were you absent yesterday?

can we use I with are…………?
now a days it is used
so plz tell me about it
We can use i with are in conditional sentences, consider the following sentence….
You and i are going to bazar.
Here, ‘you’ and ‘i’ show that there are more than one person in the sentence, that’s why we use ‘are’ relative to the first one. These are called conditional sentences
