Hi everyone, in this lesson we're going to learn about the usage of "am/is/are" in English and Japanese. These are important verbs that we use to talk about the state of being or existence. Let's get started!

English Lesson:

In English, "am/is/are" are called "to be" verbs. They are used to indicate the state of being or existence of a person, place, or thing. Here are some examples:

• I am a teacher.
• He is a teacher.
• We are teachers.
• You are a teacher.
• It is a cat.
• They are tired.

Notice how these verbs change depending on the subject of the sentence. "Am" is used with "I", "is" is used with "he/she/it", and "are" is used with "they/we/you".

Japanese Lesson:

In Japanese, there is no direct equivalent to the English "to be" verbs. Instead, the state of being or existence is often implied through the use of particles and verb endings. Here are some examples:

• わたし　は　せんせい　です。 (Watashi wa sensei desu.)
• かれ　は　せんせい　です。 (Kare wa sesnei desu.)
• わたし　たち　は　せんせい　がた　です。 (Watashi tachi wa sensei-gata desu.)
• あなた　は　せんせい　です。(Anatha wa sensei desu.)
• あれ　は　ねこ　です。(Are wa neko desu.)
• かれら　は　つかれて　います。 (Karera wa tsukarete imasu.)

Notice how the particle "は" (wa) is used to indicate the subject of the sentence, and the verb endings "です" (desu) and "います" (imasu) are used to indicate the state of being or existence.

Here also notice the use of "gata" (がた). In "Watashitachi wa sensei-gata desu", "gata" is used to show respect towards the teaching profession. The word "gata" (がた) is a suffix used to show respect and formality when referring to professions or occupations. So, "Watashitachi wa sensei-gata desu" would translate to "We are (respectful/formal) teachers."
