In deiner Muttersprache
Predicate states usually use a copula plus adjective or participle.
Das Fenster ist offen.
The window is open.
In Deiner Lernsprache
Im Englischen beschreibt man einen Zustand oft mit be + Adjektiv, z. B. tired, open oder ready. Der Zustand kann vorübergehend oder eher stabil sein.
He is tired.
tired = Zustandsbeschreibung
Lernende lassen manchmal be weg, z. B. He tired statt He is tired, oder verwechseln Adjektive mit Adverbien.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
