(be)的英語文法問題

be 其實=is, am, are (視乎subject/主位/主角是什么),
過去式便變成was, were
完成式變成has been, have been,
將來式變成will be, shall be
當然也有進行式 being了
(還有很多"式"的, 起碼要到高中才會學到, 看你的問題, 先弄清以
下的基礎用法吧)
用法:
1) be + noun
e.g. I am Peter.
This is a book.
We are students.

2) be + adj
e.g. I am fat.(現在這些日子)
She was fat when she was in primary school. (現在己經不胖了)
Mary has been fat for 25 years.(25年前是胖子, 直至現在仍是胖子)

3)be+ verb(ing/present participle/現在分詞)(表示進行式)
e.g. I am singing now.
I was watching TV last night at 8 o'clock.(昨晚8時我正在看電視)
I will be watching TV tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.(預計明晚8時
我應該正在看電視)

4)be+verb(past participle/過去分詞)(表示被動式)
e.g. The apple was eaten by John yesterday.(主角是個蘋果)
a)The apple is now being eaten by John now.(本來是 be eaten,
但進行式是要 be + verbing 所以變成 is being eaten )另外一個
差不多的例子:
b) The naughty students are being punished by their teacher now.
(因為是students , 不用 is 而用 are ,請參考本答案第一句)
The project will be finished next Monday. (將來式)
The project has been finished for 3 hours. (完成式)
(這是英文跟中文的一大不同之處, 英文要將[重點/主角/subject]放在
句子最頭的, 只要看看英文的問句就明白我的意思)
例如:你在吃什么？但英文就要這樣問: What are you eating?
([什么]才是問題的重點, 而不是[你])

而你的問題是因為[free] 是[形容詞/ adjective] , 即要用[be] 的用途 (2)
