Q

“To be”

A

Se rules:

1) No linking verb needed when: adjective, place (“li bon, li nan mon”); except the adjective of nationality
2) Se is used with nouns (profession, trade) (“li se dokte”)
3) Se used at beginning of sentence to identify and define (it is…) “Se yon cheval”

Ye rules:
Use it if subject doesn’t come at beginning of sentence… it is used to “support” a pronoun/subject: Li se nan lakay ==> se nan lakay a li ye (he’s in the house; it is in the house he is). Most often this manifests in questions: “kote li ye?” “kouman ou ye” …so the sentence shouldn’t end with a subject lacking “ye”
