1. Complete the conversations with the correct form of be.

Here’s how you can complete the conversations correctly using the proper forms of the verb "to be":

1. A: Hi, Ben. How are you? B: I ’m fine, thanks.

In this conversation, "are" is the correct form of "to be" to use with "you," and "’m" (am) is the contraction of "am," which is used with "I."

1. A: John, this is Marta. B: Hi, Marta. Are you Italian? C: No, I ’m not. I ’m from Germany.

Here, "is" is the correct form to introduce someone, "are" is used with "you," and "I’m not" is the negative form for "I am not." "I’m" is the contraction of "I am."

1. A: Is your friend a teacher? B: No, she isn’t. She is a doctor.

In this case, "is" is the correct form for third person singular (your friend, she). "Isn’t" is the contraction of "is not," used to form the negative.

1. A: Are they Mr and Mrs Smith? B: No, they aren’t. They are Mr and Mrs Brown.

For this final conversation, "are" is used with "they," and "aren’t" is the contraction of "are not," used in the negative form. "Are" is again used with "they" to affirm who they are.

To summarize:

1. A: Hi, Ben. How are you? B: I ’m fine, thanks.

2. A: John, this is Marta. B: Hi, Marta. Are you Italian? C: No, I ’m not. I ’m from Germany.

3. A: Is your friend a teacher? B: No, she isn’t. She is a doctor.

4. A: Are they Mr and Mrs Smith? B: No, they aren’t. They are Mr and Mrs Brown.

These are the correct forms of the verb "to be" used in various contexts within the conversations.

1 A: Hi, Ben. How 1 are you?

B: I 2 ’m fine, thanks.

2 A: John, this 3 Marta.

B: Hi, Marta. 4 you Italian?
