[[File:Connect two nouns with 是 (shì).png|thumb]]

In Chinese, 是 (shì)[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/File:zh-sh%C3%AC.ogg] is used to connect nouns, and is rarely used with adjectives.
==Structure==

Here is the structure to connect names with 是 (shì):

<code>Name 1 + 是 + Name 2</code>

The Chinese language does not conjugate the verbs. As a result, the verb form is the same for all people using it, i.e. always “是 (shì)”.

It is very simple to form sentences expressing "to be" in Chinese; the only specificity of 是 (shì) is that it is used to link "two nouns" and therefore we can not really rely on literal translation from French when using the verb “to be”.

==Examples==
*我是學生。/我是学生。
Wǒ shì xuéshēng.
<blockquote>I am a student.</blockquote>

*她是医生。
Tā shì yīshēng.
<blockquote>She is a doctor.</blockquote>

*他是老師。/他是老师。
Tā shì lǎoshī.
<blockquote>He is a teacher.</blockquote>

*這是書。/这是书。
Zhè shì shū.
<blockquote>This's a book.</blockquote>

*那是杯子。
Nà shì bēizi.
<blockquote>That's a cup.</blockquote>
