ha dah tu bila nak guna verb to be WAS dengan WERE?

those are for PAST TENSE.

We use the PRESENT SIMPLE verb to be in these kind of sentences

• in present continuous : She is typing the message.

• in be+going to : She is going to type the message later

• to talk about names, profession, nationalities, feelings, and ages : He is Thai / My sister is six / My mom is a teacher / I am Saleh

What about 'is being'? When do we use that???

kalau 'am, is, are being' kita guna kalau nak bagitau benda yang sedang berlaku sekarang. jadi ia digunakan untuk present continuous and NOT NOT NOT PRESENT SIMPLE.

for example,

My friends are being unreasonable (sekarang, kawan2 saya tidak masuk akal)

OR

I am being helpful. (sekarang, saya sedang menjadi seorang yang membantu)
