Sprachansicht
In deiner Muttersprache
German normally requires a visible verb such as sein or es gibt for states and existence.
Das Zimmer ist ruhig.
The room is quiet.
In Deiner Lernsprache
Im Englischen braucht man für Zustände, Orte, Existenz und viele Beschreibungen normalerweise das Verb be.
There is a problem.
is = zeigt Existenz / Zustand an
Lernende aus Sprachen, in denen kein verbindendes Verb wie be nötig ist, lassen es manchmal weg, z. B. He tired statt He is tired.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
