    INTRODUCTION

    1). BACKGROUND

    In English, it functions as a liaison between object and subject. in


    Indonesian to be (is, are, was, were and others) means "is" or has
    no meaning at all. Literally, to be means there is or is.

    Although very few, but To Be or also known as verbs are used


    very often, for example in nominal sentences. This may be unique
    for students in Indonesia, because in Indonesian we do not
    recognize auxiliary verbs such as To Be. Therefore, it seems very
    important for us to learn and recognize and use To Be in English. To
    be or verb be be can be changes according to the time and also the
    verb aspect of a sentence. This means that To Be differs from one
    sentence to another depending on whether the sentence is in the
    present, past, or future tense, and also whether the sentence is
    simple, perfect, or continuous. In addition, ToBe will also change
    according to the subject sentence.

    2). PROBLEM FORMULATION

    A. What does TO BE mean?

    B. Types of TO BE and how use it?

    C. Examples of the use TO BE in the text of daily activities


    CHAPTER 2

    THEORY AND DISCUSION

    1). Understanding TO BE

    To be means the link between the subject and the predicate in


    English sentences. To be in English has various meanings. In a
    sentence, to be can be interpreted is and sometimes has no
    meaning at all. In simple terms, it can also be interpreted as an
    auxiliary word. In order to be classified as a main verb and auxiliary
    verb. Main verb is the main verb in a sentence or can be said as the
    core of a sentence. To be categorized as a main verb if it meets a
    noun, adjective, or adverb. Auxiliary verbs are verbs that help the
    main verb (main verb) to form a complete sentence structure. The
    main characteristic of auxiliary verbs is that they cannot stand alone
    in a sentence, but require a main verb. Works as an auxiliary verb if
    it meets verb + ing or verb III (past participle).

    Determined into two determined forms, namely being now (present)


    and being in the past (past). To be present is used to express
    ongoing activities or activities that are habitual. To be past is used to
    express a final activity or an activity whose frequency is less
    frequent.

    To be used in sentences may differ depending on the subject used


    or the adverb of time used in the sentence. To clarify the use of
    these two forms, consider the following table:

    Pattern

    Present : S + to be (am/is/are)

    Past : S + to be (was/were)
    Present Past

    Subjek To Be Subjek To Be
    I Am I
    He He
    was
    She She
    Is
    It It
    We We
    You You were
    Are
    They They

    Interrogative Is+subject (he/she/it) Is+subject+verb-ing?


    Sentence +nominal
    B. Am

    The next auxiliary word is am, which is used only for one type of
    subject, namely I. The formula for am type in the simple present
    tense is I + am + noun and the formula for the present continuous
    tense is I + am + verb inThe use of to be am is only used in the
    Simple Present Tense in the nominal form (adjective, noun). While in

    other types of words that are plural, such as books, people, children,
    and others. The simple present tense formula for to be in the form of

    past tense. Was is used for the subjects I, She, He and It.

    sentences. However, if in an interrogative sentence, to be is placed
    before the subject

    EXAMPLE:

     - were

       They were not here (mereka tidak ada disini)

       Were you talking about me? (apa kamu membicarakan aku?)

       We were so close (kita dulu sangat dekat)

       You were eating my food (kamu memakan makananku)

       Were they invited (apakah mereka diundang))

     - was

       I was there (saya berada di sana)

       He was not listen (dia tidak mendengarkan)

       Was she cute? (apa dia manis?)

       It was wonderful (itu sangat indah)
