By writing the verb in capital letters, we mean any of the forms of the verb. In this instance, BE includes am, are, is, was, were, be, been, and being.

this was something that I never paid attention to before this class and after we did the homework assignment I now see how important it is to know the specifics.
This process is known as parsing a sentence. You can probably do some basic parsing already, even if you have never heard of the term.

Wow this was really well put. If i'm being honest a-lot of the time teachers from my past don't really care about how well the information given to us as students will be beneficial to us in the future so the fact that you are making it a priority that we understand what is going on and actually want us to apply in our real world lives really means a-lot.
