In the following examples you will find how we can use the verb “be” with
family words
Using "is"
She is my mother
My mother´s name is Kenny
Using "are"
You are my sister
My sister´s name is Olivia
Using "am"
I am your brother
my brother´s name is Daniel
Use (‘s)
In the previous scheme you can observe that the second sentence in each example has a (´s) after
the noun.
According to the book big picture A1 Unit 3, we use (´s) with names and nouns to show possession
E.g.
Olivia is Daniel´s sister = Olivia is the sister of Daniel
Mary is Katy´s stepmother = Mary is the stepmother of Katy
