I can explain the rules for using "am," "is," and "are" in English.

1. "Am" is the first-person singular form of the verb "to be." It is used when referring to oneself or when speaking in the first person.

- Example: "I am going to the store."

2. "Is" is the third-person singular form of the verb "to be." It is used when referring to a singular noun or subject.

- Example: "He is a doctor."

3. "Are" is the plural form of the verb "to be." It is used when referring to more than one person or subject.

- Example: "They are my friends."

It's important to note that the verb "to be" is irregular, meaning it does not follow the regular conjugation patterns of other verbs in English. Here is a breakdown of the verb "to be" in different forms:

- Singular:

- I am

- You are

- He/She/It is

- Plural:

- We are

- You are

- They are

Additionally, "am," "is," and "are" can be used in questions and negative sentences by combining them with other words. For example:

- Questions:

- Am I late?

- Is he coming?

- Are they ready?

- Negative sentences:

- I am not hungry.

- He is not here.

- They are not listening.

Remember that the choice between "am," "is," and "are" depends on the subject of the sentence (first person, singular, or plural) and whether the sentence is affirmative, negative, or a question.
