"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
