    「are」是 be 動詞的現在式複數形，用在 we、you、they 後面或任何複數主詞後面：We are friends. ／ You are kind. ／ They are happy. ／ The cats are hungry. 單數 he / she / it 要用 is，I 要用 am。完整意義請參考 be 詞條（word_be_*）；本條只是 be 的特定形式。注意 are ≠ our（我們的）！

core核心畫面

You can think of 'are' as the same little linking word 'be', just wearing the form it takes when the subject is 'you', 'we', 'they', or anything plural — the verb that quietly says 'this exists / this is so' for more than one.

可以想成：are 其實就是 be 動詞，只是換上了「跟 you／we／they 或複數主詞搭配」的那一身衣服。它本身幾乎沒有畫面，作用像一條等號，輕輕把主詞和後面的描述連起來，說「這就是這樣」「這個存在」。
