As a teacher, you sometimes need to come up with examples on the spot. Sometimes it’s hard to think of a particular example, especially when more common alternatives (ones that don’t fit your category) come to mind far too easily. That’s why it’s good to have some word lists on hand.
‘To be’ so often is drilled into students’ minds that they end up using it far more that they should, as if it’s a requirement for every sentence. Starting off with some simple sentences that don’t have am/is/are might be a better way to get started.
