Be and Have are among the most common and widely used verbs in the English language, so it is necessary for you to know the conjugation of each one of them, their structure in a statement, interrogative, and negative sentence.
* First, we start by conjugating both Be and Have in the Present Simple with the known verb pronouns:
(I, You, He, She, It, We, They).
🪄(Be) 🪄(Have)
I am | I have
You are | You have
He is | He has
She is | She has
It is | It has
We are | We have
You are | You have
They are | They have
* Forming declarative sentences using be and have.
The construction of a sentence in English is similar to that in Arabic. We need a subject pronoun, a verb, and an object.
Here are some examples of declarative sentences with the verb Be:
- I am a teacher.
She is my mother.
- We are students.
- You are so handsome.
Here are some examples of declarative sentences with the verb have:
- He has a big heart.
- I have a car.
- They have a big house.
- He has a colored feather.
* Interrogative sentence construction.
When we want to construct an interrogative sentence with be, we start with the verb first, then the subject pronoun, and end the sentence with a question mark (?), except for have, when we want to construct an interrogative sentence, we use an auxiliary verb, which is do or does.
Here are some examples of interrogative sentences with the verb Be:
- Is he a doctor?
- Are you ready?
- Am I right?
- Are they home?
Here are some examples of interrogative sentences with the verb Have:
- Does she have enough money?
- Do they have a house?
- Do I have a dog?
* Negative with Be and Have.
When we want to negate a sentence in English, we use not, which means "not" and can be abbreviated as (nt') and add it after the verb "Be". The verb "have" is negated by adding "do not" or "does not" before the verb, depending on the pronoun used. As follows:
- (Subject + Be + not + Object).
- (Subject + don't/doesn't + have + Object).
Here are some examples of negative sentences with the verb be:
- She is not from here.
- We are not afraid.
- This cat is not mine.
- I am not your friend.
Here are some examples of negative sentences with the verb Have:
- I do not have a car.
- She does not have a brother.
- He does not have a pet.
