Choose a form by meaning first: say who someone is, what they have, or what they do. Then check the subject and the words around the gap.
1. How to Form It
Be: identity, place and feeling
Positive
I am new. / She is friendly. / They are ready.
Negative
I am not worried. / He isn’t late. / We aren’t alone.
Question
Are you a new member? / Is she happy?
Use am with I, is with one person or thing, and are with you or plural subjects.
Have got: possessions
Positive
I/you/we/they have got a map.
He/she has got a badge.
Negative
We haven’t got a camera.
She hasn’t got an umbrella.
Question
Have they got notebooks?
Has Mina got a pen?
Keep got after have/has. Use has with he, she or one person’s name.
Short answers: match the helper
Be: “Are you ready?” — “Yes, I am.”
Have got: “Has she got a pen?” — “No, she hasn’t.”
Do: “Do they play games?” — “Yes, they do.”
Repeat the helper from the question. Do not replace it with another verb.
Questions with do / does
Do you enjoy the club?
Does Kai bring the snacks?
After does, the main verb uses its base form: Does Kai bring…?
Use do/does for present simple actions. The short-answer exercise includes both forms.
2. Clue Words & Patterns
Feeling or action?
feel + adjectivebe + adjectivebe + verb-ing
“I feel nervous before the speech” describes an emotion. “I am nervous” describes the same state. “I am speaking now” tells what I am doing.
Words such as happy, shy, worried describe a state; a verb ending in -ing can describe an action happening now.
Belongings around us
wear: badge, jacketcarry: bottle, umbrellause: map, notebook
Ask what the person needs in that situation. A map helps someone find a place; a notebook holds written notes; a camera takes pictures.
The verb have got states that a person possesses an item: “We have got a map.”
Alphabet and spelling clues
Listen to each letter in order, then check the whole word. Watch for easily confused letter names such as A/E, G/J and B/P. In British English, the letter Z is called zed. In this practice you can replay each recording. Open the transcript after your first attempt.
One more pattern: a question asks for missing information
Put a question word such as what, where or when first. With be or have got, place the helper before the subject: “Where are we?” / “Have you got a pen?” With present simple actions, use do/does: “When does the meeting start?”
Person’s feeling and the thing causing it
“The puzzle is interesting.” It holds our attention. “We are interested in it.” This describes our feeling.
“The long wait is boring.” It makes time pass slowly. “I am bored.” This says how I feel.
Build a personal question
Question word + be + subject: “Where is the club leader?”
Be + subject + adjective: “Are the helpers ready?”
Have/Has + subject + got: “Has our team got a sign?”
Use have for routine activities: “We have lunch together.” Have got describes possession here: “We have got a lunch box.”
3. Watch Out & Common Mistakes
Subject and be do not match
Wrong: I is ready.
Better: I am ready.
Use am with I; the subject decides the form.
Question order with have got
Wrong: Has got Maya a badge?
Better: Has Maya got a badge?
Put the subject between has and got: Has Maya got…?
Using a question helper in the reply
Wrong: “Are you a member?” — “Yes, I do.”
Better: “Are you a member?” — “Yes, I am.”
The short answer repeats the helper are, changed to match I.
Adding -s after does
Wrong: What does Mina brings?
Better: What does Mina bring?
Does already carries the third-person ending, so the main verb stays in its base form.
Check your thinking
1. Complete: “Noor ___ got a badge yet; the printer has not made it.”
Answer: hasn’t. The badge has not been made, so Noor does not have it yet. A singular subject takes hasn’t got.
2. Choose: “Are the new members ready?” — “Yes, they ___.”
Answer: are. The question uses are, so the short answer repeats are.
3. Correct the question: “Where you are from?”
Answer: Where are you from? Put are before the subject you in a be question.
