Grammar Rule
The Structure
| Subject | Verb | What comes next | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | am | a/an + noun | I am a student. |
| I | am | adjective | I am happy. |
| I | am | from + place | I am from Guatemala City. |
| You | are | a/an + noun | You are a teacher. |
| You | are | adjective | You are very kind. |
| My name | is | your name | My name is Sofia. |
Common mistake: Never say “I are” or “You am” or “My name are.” In this unit: I → am, You → are, My name → is. Always.
