Objective
To understand the structure of affirmative simple present tense sentences using the "Noun + Helping Verb + Noun" pattern and practice converting them into plural forms.
Structure Overview
- Noun: A person, place, thing, or idea.
- Helping Verb: The linking verb "is" is used for singular subjects, "are" for plural subjects, and "am" for the first-person singular pronoun "I".
- Noun: A complement that renames or describes the subject noun.
Formula
- Singular Form: Noun (Singular) + is + Noun (Singular/Complement)
- Plural Form: Noun (Plural) + are + Noun (Plural/Complement)
