• Physical state: I am tired/hungry/cold
• Emotional state: I am happy/sad/excited

Unit 2
I am doing
The verb ‘to be’ can be used as an auxiliary verb before
other verbs. The verb that follows always has the ending ‘-
ing’.
‘to be’ represents a present state, so when it’s followed by
a verb (-ing) it refers to a present activity.
• I’m a teacher, but I’m not teaching now, I’m
preparing a lesson
• Susan is wearing a pretty dress today
• Take an umbrella, it’s raining
Spelling
Note the following spelling changes:

Negative
Place ‘not’ after the auxiliary:
I’m not sleeping
They’re not working -or - they aren’t working
She’s not reading - or - she isn’t reading
Questions
