There are two kinds of verbs in English. One kind shows action: to run, to eat, to dance. But the other kind shows state of being-- and that means the various tenses of the verb "to be": is, are, am, was, were, will be. ("State of being" means it shows that something or someone exists: I am a professor. He is a doctor. They are Canadian.)
