I is, you is, they is.........are they right?

Most students who have learned English as second or foreign language must agree that English has a characteristic on its rule or structure. One of the basic English structures that taught in Elementary level is the use of be (to be) in a sentence. Most students who have learned this structure must have same understanding that there are three to be used in present time, they are am, are, and is. And the pattern of the use of those to be as follows:

I	am
You, They, We	are
He, She, It	is

1. I am a student 
2.  I am at school now
3. We are from Indonesia
4. She is a teacher

A question emerges dealing with this rule that “Can we change the patent rule into another one?”. The answer is YES...absoultely YES.....but.....in certain and specific condition.

“How can we change this rule?”

Look at these examples and you will understand how this rule can be changed

1. I is the ninth letter of alphabet.
2.  I is the first singular person of the subject
3. You is the second singular of the subject
4. They is the third plural person of the subject.

“Have you got the conclusion?”

The conclusion is that to be (is) is not always preceded by subject he, she, or it. This be can also be preceded by subject you, they, we, or I in term of the functions of these subjects are not a pronoun.
