To Be — Am, Is, Are

🔤 1. Apa arti “to be”?

“To be” adalah kata kerja.

Kita memakai to be untuk membicarakan:

  • siapa seseorang itu
  • apa sesuatu itu
  • bagaimana keadaan seseorang atau sesuatu
  • di mana seseorang atau sesuatu berada

Contoh:

I am Rina. → Who am I?
Saya Rina. → Saya siapa?
He is a teacher. → What is he?
Dia seorang guru. → Pekerjaannya apa?
She is happy. → How is she?
Dia senang. → Bagaimana keadaannya?
They are at home. → Where are they?
Mereka di rumah. → Mereka di mana?

Jadi, to be adalah kata kerja yang membantu kita memberi informasi tentang seseorang atau sesuatu.

📘 2. “To be” punya beberapa bentuk

Dalam present tense, to be punya tiga bentuk:

am, is, are

Kita memilih am, is, atau are tergantung pada subjeknya.

Subject adalah orang atau benda yang sedang kita bicarakan.

Contoh:

I am happy.
Saya senang.
She is tired.
Dia lelah.
They are busy.
Mereka sibuk.

Subjeknya adalah I, she, dan they.

🧩 3. Kapan kita pakai “am”?

Pakai am dengan I.

I am happy.
Saya senang.
I am a student.
Saya seorang murid.
I am at home.
Saya di rumah.

💡 Ingat:

I → am

Bukan:

❌ I is
❌ I are

Benar:

✅ I am

🔍 4. Kapan kita pakai “is”?

Pakai is dengan:

he, she, it

He

He is tall.
Dia tinggi.
He is a student.
Dia seorang murid.

She

She is happy.
Dia senang.
She is a teacher.
Dia seorang guru.

It

Kita memakai it untuk benda, hewan, atau situasi.

It is cold.
Cuacanya dingin.
It is a cat.
Itu seekor kucing.

💡 Ingat:

He → is
She → is
It → is

🧠 5. Kapan kita pakai “are”?

Pakai are dengan:

you, we, they

You

You are nice.
Kamu baik.
You are my friend.
Kamu temanku.

We

We are students.
Kami adalah murid.
We are happy.
Kami senang.

They

They are busy.
Mereka sibuk.
They are at school.
Mereka di sekolah.

💡 Ingat:

You → are
We → are
They → are

🗂️ 6. Aturan dasarnya

Ini hal terpenting yang harus diingat:

Subjek To be
I am
He is
She is
It is
You are
We are
They are

💡 Cara mudah mengingat:

I am
He is
She is
It is
You are
We are
They are

🎯 7. “To Be” + Informasi

Setelah am, is, atau are, kita bisa memberi berbagai jenis informasi.

A. Siapa seseorang itu (identitas atau perannya)

I am a student.
Saya seorang murid.
She is a teacher.
Dia seorang guru.
They are my friends.
Mereka teman-temanku.

B. Bagaimana keadaan seseorang

I am happy.
Saya senang.
He is tired.
Dia lelah.
We are hungry.
Kami lapar.

C. Di mana seseorang atau sesuatu berada

I am at home.
Saya di rumah.
She is at school.
Dia di sekolah.
They are in the room.
Mereka di dalam ruangan.

Jadi kita bisa membayangkannya seperti ini:

Subject + am/is/are + informasi

I + am + happy.
She + is + a teacher.
They + are + at home.

💬 8. Kalimat Positif

Kalimat positif menyatakan bahwa sesuatu itu benar.

Pola dasarnya adalah:

Subject + am/is/are + informasi

Contoh-contoh:

I am a student.
Saya seorang murid.
He is happy.
Dia senang.
They are at home.
Mereka di rumah.

🔤 9. Kalimat Negatif

Untuk mengatakan bahwa sesuatu itu tidak benar, pakai not setelah am, is, atau are.

💡 Pola:

Subject + am/is/are + not + informasi

Contoh-contoh:

I am not tired.
Saya tidak lelah.
She is not a teacher.
Dia bukan guru.
They are not at home.
Mereka tidak di rumah.

💡 Ingat:

am → am not
is → is not
are → are not

📘 10. Bentuk Singkat

Dalam bahasa Inggris sehari-hari, kita sering membuat bentuk singkat.

Positif

I am → I'm
He is → He's
She is → She's
It is → It's
You are → You're
We are → We're
They are → They're

Contoh-contoh:

I'm happy.
Saya senang.
She's a teacher.
Dia seorang guru.
They're at home.
Mereka di rumah.

Artinya sama saja.

I am happy. = I'm happy.

Negatif

is not → isn't
are not → aren't

Contoh-contoh:

He isn't tired.
Dia tidak lelah.
They aren't busy.
Mereka tidak sibuk.

Untuk I am not, biasanya kita memakai:

I'm not

Contoh:

I'm not tired.
Saya tidak lelah.

🧩 11. Kalimat Tanya

Untuk membuat kalimat tanya dengan am, is, atau are, letakkan am/is/are sebelum subjeknya.

Perhatikan perbedaannya:

Pernyataan

She is happy.
Dia senang.

Pertanyaan

Is she happy?
Apakah dia senang?

Urutannya berubah.

💡 Pola:

Am/Is/Are + subject +...?

Contoh-contoh:

Am I late?
Apakah saya terlambat?
Is he tired?
Apakah dia lelah?
Is she a teacher?
Apakah dia guru?
Are you okay?
Apakah kamu baik-baik saja?
Are they at home?
Apakah mereka di rumah?

🔍 12. Jawaban Singkat

Kita bisa menjawab pertanyaan dengan jawaban singkat.

Dengan “is”

Is she happy?
Apakah dia senang?

Yes, she is.
Ya.
No, she isn't.
Tidak.

Dengan “are”

Are they students?
Apakah mereka murid?

Yes, they are.
Ya.
No, they aren't.
Tidak.

Dengan “am”

Am I late?
Apakah saya terlambat?

Yes, you are.
Ya.
No, you aren't.
Tidak.

Perhatikan bahwa jawabannya menyesuaikan orang yang sedang kamu ajak bicara.

Contoh:

Are you tired?
Apakah kamu lelah?
→ Yes, I am.

Bukan:

❌ Yes, I are.

🧠 13. “To Be” dan Kata Kerja Biasa

Ini perbedaan yang penting.

Kita memakai am, is, atau are untuk memberi informasi seperti:

She is happy.
Dia senang.
He is a teacher.
Dia seorang guru.
They are at home.
Mereka di rumah.

Tapi kita biasanya tidak memakai am/is/are sebelum kata kerja biasa dalam kalimat simple present.

Contoh:

❌ I am like pizza.

Benar:

✅ I like pizza.
Saya suka pizza.

Contoh lain:

❌ She is work every day.

Benar:

✅ She works every day.
Dia bekerja setiap hari.

Kita akan mempelajari ini di pelajaran Simple Present Tense.
