Be

/biː/verb
ELI5 mode

The verb 'to be' serves as a linking verb that connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, such as an adjective, noun, or phrase, to describe a state of existence or identity. It's the most irregular and essential verb in English, appearing in nearly every tense and used to form questions, negatives, and passive constructions, making it indispensable for both simple descriptions and complex modern communication like in AI programming.
