Spell Bee Word: Are


What does are mean?

Word: Are

Part of Speech: Verb

Meaning: Are means a word that goes with we, you and they, and with more than one thing, as in We are friends.

How do you spell are?

Syllables: are

Tricky part: Are ends with a silent e. We only hear ar, so children often leave the e off. Our is a different word, so do not mix them up.

Watch out for: ahr, arr

Memory tip: Are is a-r-e. The e at the end makes no sound, so tap the table once for it as you write.

Are in a sentence

Example 1: We are in the same class.

Example 2: The mangoes are very sweet.

Example 3: Where are my shoes?
