-The [equative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equative) might be the most basic way of joining words together. We use it to say that something *is/equals* something else. It's kind of like an equals "=" sign in math.

## Present Equative Form
Here are the **present equative endings** that you have to use depending on the subject. We use this **present equative** form when:

+**There is no "to be" verb in Pashto**. 🤯 Let that sink in for a second. There's no infinitive "to be" form. You can't say "It's good *to be* here." We can't use "to be" as a verb and make normal verb phrases like we do in other language.
+
+In Pashto, we use a special structure called an **equative phrase (EP)** when we talk about something being something.
+
+Basically with an equative phrase we have three main parts:
+
+- **"A"** a subject (the thing we are talking about)
+- **"B"** a predicate (what the thing *is*)
+- **"="** an equative at the end to join them together
+
+Notice how the word order is different than it is in English.
+
+
+
+There are two ways to build an equative phrase:
+
+1. NP + Complement + Equative
+
+
+
+2. NP + NP + Equative
+
+
+
+The equative will **always agree with the last NP** in the phrase. So for #1 it will agree with the *subject* and for #2 it will agree with the *predicate*.
+
+## 1. NP + Complement
+
+
+
+This is the most common phrase you will see for describing what a subject is. With this kind of phrase we use an EP complement to describe the subject NP.
+
+### What's an EP Complement?
+
+An **EP complement** is one of four things:
+
+- adjective
+- location adverb
+- sandwich
+- complement noun
+
+Let's look at some examples using each of these kinds of complements.
+
+#### With an adjective
+
+An adjective is a word that describes what the subject is like. Notice that it will inflect to agree with the subject.
+
+EXAMPLES COMING...
+
+#### With a location adverb
+
+An adverb is a word that describes the location of the subject. Don't worry, it doesn't inflect.
+
+EXAMPLES COMING...
+
+#### With a sandwich
+
+#### With a complement noun
+
+## 2. NP + NP

In Pashto, it's important to know how these building blocks line up. But first, let's look at what these blocks actually are. In this chapter we'll look at the NP.
