VERB TO BE = VERBO SER / ESTAR - Lilli Zen

VERB TO BE
Presente e Passado
O verbo to be do inglês corresponde aos nossos verbos ser e estar, de acordo com a
frase e contexto. To be é a forma do infinitivo, como na famosa frase de Hamlet, de William
Shakespeare: “To be or not to be: that is the question.”
O verbo to be é irregular e é conjugado de maneira diferente dos outros verbos (work, go,
study, love, like, etc.). Para formar o negativo, apenas acrescenta-se “not” e para fazer perguntas
o verbo to be vem antes do sujeito, ou seja, inverte-se a ordem do sujeito – verbo para verbo –
sujeito.
A seguir duas tabelas com a conjugação do verbo to be no Presente e no Passado.
