**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.

There are two ways to build an equative phrase:
|

|

1. <Link to="/phrase-structure/np/">NP</Link> + <Link to="/phrase-structure/ep/#whats-an-ep-complement">Complement</Link> + Equative
|

|

<BasicBlocks large blocks={[
|
||||
{ bottom: "NP", inside: "A", top: "Subject" },
|
||||
{ bottom: "Comp.", inside: "B", top: "Predicate" },
|
||||
{ bottom: "Equative", inside: "=" },
|
||||
]} />
|

|

2. <Link to="/phrase-structure/np/">NP</Link> + <Link to="/phrase-structure/np/">NP</Link> + Equative
|

|

<BasicBlocks large blocks={[
|

{ bottom: "NP", inside: "A", top: "Subject" },
|

{ bottom: "NP", inside: "B", top: "Predicate" },
|
||||
{ bottom: "Equative", inside: "=" },
|

]} />
|

|

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
