The document discusses the verbs "to be" and "to have" and how they are used to describe objects. Specifically, "to be" is used to indicate what an object is, such as describing its color, while "to have" is used to indicate what characteristics or features an object has. A few examples are provided where "the television is grey" or "the cellular phone is blue" use "to be" to identify color, while "the television has a remote control" or "the cellular phone has radio" use "to have" to specify features.
