"Teaching the verb be to ESL students is exciting, but it can be a bit tricky too. Not only is it the most commonly used verb in the English language, it is irregular too! It’s important that students know this verb as soon as they start learning English and that teachers work hard to help them master it. Feeling the pressure? Don’t worry, you no longer have to! This easy-to-follow lesson plan will help you to teach the verb be with ease and impact.
