Chapter 1
Using Verb To Be (I/You/He)
I Am, You Are, He Is
Use am with I, are with you, and is with he. These small words help you say who someone is or how someone feels.
Look at the pattern:
1. I am - I am a student. 2. You are - You are my friend. 3. He is - He is happy.
The word he means one boy or man. We can use he for a brother, dad, teacher, or boy in a picture. We usually write I with a capital letter, even in the middle of a sentence.
Key takeaway: I am, you are, and he is are the three patterns to remember.
We can make short forms, too. They are common when people speak:
• I am → I’m - You are → You’re - He is → He’s
For example, “I am tired” and “I’m tired” have the same meaning. “He is kind” and “He’s kind” have the same meaning. The full forms are helpful for learning. The short forms are useful for quick, friendly sentences.
Build Three Little Sentences
Materials needed: a pencil, three small pieces of paper, and a colored pencil Time required: 10 minutes
You will make three sentence cards. Each card will use one correct verb form: am, are, or is.
1. Write I, you, and he on three separate pieces of paper. 2. Under I, write am. Under you, write are. Under he, write is. 3. Add one word after each pair. Choose from happy, kind, ready, small, or tired. 4. Read each sentence aloud slowly. 5. Draw a tiny picture beside each sentence. 6. Check each sentence with the pattern below: - I + am - You + are - He + is 7. Circle the verb in each sentence. You should have three circled verbs.
Completed example:
> I am happy. > You are kind. > He is ready.
Your Turn
Complete the sentences. Write am, are, or is in each blank.
1. I ____ ready. 2. You __ happy. 3. He __ kind. 4. I __ small. 5. You __ tired. 6. He ____ funny.
Now check your work. The word am should appear two times. The word are should appear two times. The word is should appear two times.
Your Turn
Change each full sentence to a short form.
1. I am happy. → ____________________________ 2. You are ready. → _______________________ 3. He is kind. → ____________________________
Read your three short sentences aloud. Touch the short form with your pencil as you say it. This helps your eyes and voice work together.
Mini Check
Put a check beside each sentence that is correct.
• [ ] I are happy. - [ ] You are ready. - [ ] He is kind. - [ ] I am tired. - [ ] He are funny.
You should have three checks. If you have more or fewer, read the pattern again and try once more.
Use I Am, You Are, and He Is Every Day
You can use I am when you talk about yourself. You might say, “I am hungry” before lunch, “I am ready” before school, or “I am tired” after playing. You can use you are when you talk to one person. For example, you can say, “You are my friend” or “You are funny.” The person can answer, “I am happy.”
Use he is when you talk about one boy or man who is not speaking. You might say, “He is my brother,” “He is tall,” or “He is in the park.” If you point to a picture of a boy named Leo, you can say, “He is Leo” or “He is happy.” The expected result is a complete sentence with a subject and the correct form of to be.
Apply It
Imagine these three small scenes. Write one sentence for each scene.
A picture shows you with a big smile. Write an I am sentence.
__________________________________________________
A picture shows your friend with a book. Write a you are sentence.
__________________________________________________
A picture shows a boy with a red ball. Write a he is sentence.
__________________________________________________
Read your sentences aloud. You should have one sentence beginning with I am, one beginning with You are, and one beginning with He is.
You can also use these forms for questions and answers. “Are you ready?” asks one person a question. The answer can be “Yes, I am” or “No, I’m not.” “Is he happy?” asks about one boy or man. The answer can be “Yes, he is” or “No, he isn’t.” For today, listen for the helper word and answer with the same subject.
Apply It
Finish each short conversation.
1. “Are you tired?” “Yes, ____ ____.”
2. “Is he kind?” “Yes, ____ ____.”
3. “Are you ready?” “No, ____ ____ not.”
Check your answers. The first answer should be I am. The second should be he is. The third should be I am before not. You are done when all three answers are complete and make sense.
Show What You Know
Answer each question with a sentence. Use the exact form shown in the label.
Reflect
1. What can you say about yourself with I am? Write one true sentence.
__________________________________________________
__________________________________________________
2. What can you say to a friend with You are? Write one kind sentence.
__________________________________________________
__________________________________________________
3. What can you say about one boy with He is? Write one sentence about a picture, toy, or person.
__________________________________________________

Now complete your self-check. Put a star beside each goal you can do without help.
• [ ] I can write I am correctly. - [ ] I can write you are correctly. - [ ] I can write he is correctly. - [ ] I can say all three patterns aloud. - [ ] I can make three complete sentences.
Count your stars: ______ out of 5.
If you have 4 or 5 stars, read your three best sentences one more time. If you have 3 or fewer stars, copy these patterns twice:
I am ____________________________ You are _______________________ He is ____________________________
Finish with one sentence about yourself:
I am ____________________________________.
That sentence is your little grammar star.
