Tips

Fill In: am / is / are

  1. Si el sujeto no es pronombre, sustitúyelo mentalmente: Gabriel → he → is; the weather → it → is; these books → they → are.
  2. I solo usa am. He, she e it usan is. You, we y they usan are.
  3. No omitas el sujeto como puedes hacerlo en español; la forma de to be debe concordar con la palabra escrita.
