your will be done, on earth as in heaven

Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our sins,

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours.Now and for ever.

VERB TO BE - VERBO SER/ESTAR

O verbo ‘to be’ equivale aos verbos ‘ser’ e ‘estar’, em português. É importante destacar que, na língua inglesa, não há uma distinção entre ser e estar. Para citar um exemplo histórico; uma vez um deputado brasileiro disse: “Eu não sou deputado, eu estou deputado”; em português sabemos que ele quis dizer que não será deputado sempre, pois depende de ser eleito novamente, mas para um falante de inglês é muito difícil de entender isso.

A conjugação do verbo to be no presente do indicativo é:
