~•||> Hey! Let's learn a little bit about the conjugation of the verb to be in the present simple!

~Well, the verb “To Be” it's very used in the English grammar... Some examples are: the present continuous, the past continuous..
To understand and make phrases in the present or past continuous it's necessary a knowledge about the conjugation of the verb "to be"...
So here, I'll try to help some of you that are beginners!

First, let's know the pronouns and their meanings in Portuguese!

1-I=Eu
2-You=Tu/você
3-He=Ele
4-She=Ela
6-It=Ele/ela (Objectos e coisas)

The Importance Of English: Although the English language doesn’t have the largest number of native speakers in the world, it has the widest reach of any language spoken today. Both native and second-language speakers of English are found on every continent, and English has become the lingua franca in many fields, including business, politics, science, technology, and entertainment, to name a few. English is the working language of many international organizations, like NATO and the European Union, and it’s the language of global advertising. It is also the most-used language of the internet, accounting for more than half of all websites. For many people, learning English is a way to get access to a broader range of information, connections, and opportunities. The importance of English is clear.

HISTORY OF ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE
It was the British who first spread English around the globe through imperialism from the 1600s to the 1900s. As other countries were colonized by the British, English became established as the language of education and government. In many cases, English served as a useful common language among populations with different native tongues. This factor contributed to the survival of English in many places long after the British were gone.
Since the 20th century, the United States has had a stronger influence on the globalization of English. America is not only a major economic power but also the source of a great deal of pop culture and entertainment in movies, television, and on the internet. Consequently, knowing English gives non-native speakers access to a huge amount of content as well as a wealth of opportunities in the international marketplace.
REASONS TO LEARN ENGLISH
The following are a few of the most common reasons why people around the globe learn English.
1. People who speak English have more job opportunities. Businesses need employees who can communicate fluently with English-speaking partners and clients. In addition, entrepreneurs can access a far wider range of customers online by using English. In the U.S. or other English-speaking countries, people who can’t speak English are at a real economic disadvantage.
2. Since English is the language of science and technology, English speakers have more opportunities to work with others in these fields and to share ideas and innovations.
