is

When we say ‘is’, it’s like saying something is real or true right now. Think of ‘is’ as a magic word that helps us know what’s happening or what something is like. If you have a toy car, and you say, ‘This car is red,’ you are using ‘is’ to tell everyone the color of the car. It’s like a little helper word that tells us more about things.

Imagine a superhero who can tell you what things are. This superhero’s name is ‘Is’. Whenever you see a dog, and you say, ‘The dog is big,’ you’re calling on the superhero ‘Is’ to help you describe the dog. ‘Is’ makes the sentence strong and clear, letting everyone know that the dog is big.

Think of ‘is’ as a bridge that connects words together. When you say, ‘The sky is blue,’ ‘is’ is the bridge that connects ‘sky’ and ‘blue’. Without ‘is’, the sentence would feel like it’s missing something important. ‘Is’ helps us make sentences that are easy to understand and tell us about the world around us.
