To bepresentandspast
The document provides conjugations of the verb "to be" in simple present and past tense in English. It encourages the reader to practice conjugating the verb aloud until they can easily recall the forms. It acknowledges that while "to be" has more forms than "to have", it is not too difficult to learn compared to other languages. The document uses Portuguese conjugations as an example of a language with more complex verb forms.

Like the verb to have , to be doesn’t have too many forms either: am, is, are, was and were and the gerund being . Ok a few more than to have but,comparing to other languages... * !
