Tinjauan bahasa

Present-tense states often use no visible copula; ada marks existence or presence.

That room quiet.
Dalam bahasa yang dipelajari
English usually requires the verb 'be' for states, locations, existence, and many descriptions.
There is a problem.
is = existence/state marker
Learners whose language drops the copula may omit 'be' in sentences like '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.
