1."am"(a)
Use 'am' with the subject 'I'. The present forms of 'be' are: I am / you are / he, she, it is / we, they are.
2."is"(b)
Use 'is' with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it). She is very tired.
3."are"(c)
Use 'are' with plural subjects (we, you, they). We are ready for the test.
4."is"(d)
Use 'is' with singular subjects. 'The book' is singular, so we say: The book is on the table.
5."are"(a)
Use 'are' with 'you' — both singular and plural 'you' take 'are'. You are late for class.
