Be (am, is, are) bisa diikuti oleh kata sifat yang menerangkan tetang status subyek :
Contoh :
- Herman is clever
- Winny is beautiful
- I am thirsty
- We are brave
Dalam stative passive, kata kerja bentuk ke 3 seperti prepared, broken, closed, bisa bertindak seperti kata sifat bila digabungkan dengan be + V3 + prepostion (to, about, for, by, etc).
Contoh :
- The island is located in Indonesian archipelago
- He is worried about the exam
- Kim is married to Ding
- John will be prepared for the game
- The strore will be closed at 9.pm
BE + V3 (Past participle) + Preposition
Hal ini berbeda dengan passive voice, jadi dalam mempelajari hal ini jangan sampai dibingungkan dengan passive voice .
The island is located in pada contoh di atas, memberi keterangan bahwa The island (subyek) terletak di kepulauan Indonesia. Bukan The island diletakkan di kepulauan Indonesia.
