"Is," "are," "was," and "were" are all examples of verbs in English grammar. Specifically, they are forms of the verb "to be," which is one of the most important and commonly used verbs in the English language. "Is" is the singular present tense form of "to be." It is used with singular subjects, such as "he," "she," "it," or singular nouns. For example: "He is happy." "Are" is the plural present tense form of "to be." It is used with plural subjects, such as "they," "we," or with "you" (plural). For example: "They are friends." "Was" is the singular past tense form of "to be." It is used to describe something that happened or existed in the past with singular subjects. For example: "She was at the party." "Were" is the plural past tense form of "to be." It is used to describe something that happened or existed in the past with plural subjects. For example: "They were classmates." read less

What is your biggest hesitation/fear when it comes to speaking in English? Do you have any embarrassing moment from the past due to bad English communication?
I have long left the FEAR of speaking fluent English behind me. Now I ensure that people respect me for the way I converse fluently. Yes, there have been moments when I failed, when people laughed but every time you fall, you need to rise.

How do I differentiate "I can do" from "I can't do" in spoken English?
1) If the sound is abrupt and chopped, can't, can't, then it's the word can't. And 2) if the vowel sound changes to the schwa, then it's the word can.
