Meet a student and a teacher
-
I / me我to be / is是student学生。 Wǒ shì xuésheng. — I am a student.
-
she / her她to be / is是teacher老师。 Tā shì lǎoshī. — She is a teacher. Learn student学生 and teacher老师 as whole words.
-
Before you start: Recall I / me我 from introducing yourself. A name sentence uses I / me我variant of 叫叫; this lesson links a person to an identity with to be / is是.
You want to say your role rather than your name. Which information would fit?

Student gives an identity. Lin An and a surname/given-name pair give names. The lesson introduces 是 for this identity pattern.
Link a person to an identity
- In this pattern, person + to be / is是 + identity: I / me我to be / is是student学生. to be / is是 shì links the person with a noun such as student or teacher.
- English uses “a student”; Chinese can simply say student学生 here. I / me我to be / is是一个student学生 is also grammatical, but you do not need 一个 for this introduction.
我是学生 can mean “I am a student” without 一个.

Chinese does not require an indefinite article in this identity pattern.
Match the whole words.

Learn words as useful units; 不是 is the negative form in these identity sentences.
Correct a wrong guess
- I / me我no不是teacher老师。 Wǒ bú shì lǎoshī. — I am not a teacher.
- Put not不 before to be / is是: I / me我 no不是 teacher老师. Then give the correct identity: I / me我to be / is是student学生。
A: you你to be / is是teacher老师(yes/no ?)吗？ B: no不是，I / me我to be / is是student学生。 — Are you a teacher? No, I am a student. The next lesson teaches (yes/no ?)吗.
Work through a decision: For a fictional student, first choose the identity student学生, then link it to I / me我 with to be / is是：I / me我to be / is是student学生。To deny being a teacher, put not不 immediately before to be / is是：I / me我no不是teacher老师。The denied role and the actual role need not be the same word.
Compare a near miss: I / me我no不是teacher老师 denies being a teacher; it does not by itself prove that the person is a student. Add I / me我to be / is是student学生 if that is the role you want to state. I / me我variant of 叫叫student学生 uses the naming frame and does not express the intended identity.
Complete “I am not a teacher”: 我____是老师。

The completed sentence is 我不是老师.
You are a student. Someone asks 你是老师吗？ Reply:

Deny the wrong identity with 不是 and give the true one.
Role card: you are a student, not a teacher. Choose a sentence pair that states both facts.

我不是老师 denies the wrong role and 我是学生 states the given role. The other pairs assign the opposite identity. Check the word after 不是 separately from the word after 是.
Listen for not不
- Listen and decide: teacher or not a teacher?
- not不 sounds rising before the fourth-tone to be / is是: bú shì. You may see the dictionary spelling bù; the written character is unchanged.
Do not use to be / is是 as a direct replacement for every English “is”. For “she is busy”, the ordinary pattern is she / her她degree / adjective linker很busy忙, taught later. This lesson covers identity statements, not every use of to be / is是.
What did you hear?

不是 denies the identity: she is not a teacher.
A：我是老师。 B：我不是老师。我是学生。Which account fits this different pair of speakers?
난이도 1/5 · 100 코인 + 오늘 첫 완료 시 소액 보너스
A states 我是老师. B denies 老师 and then supplies 学生 as the actual identity. Do not drop 不 or treat a denied identity as the speaker’s actual role.
Say something true
- Say I / me我to be / is是student学生 if it is true, or practise with a fictional student role. Then deny a different identity: I / me我no不是teacher老师。
- Ask a partner to point at either a student or teacher picture. Say a full sentence about the person; use he / him他 tā — he or she / her她 tā — she.
I / me我to be / is是student学生 states an identity. I / me我no不是teacher老师 denies one. Keep not不 immediately before to be / is是 in this pattern.
Next: ask a yes-or-no question.
Later recall: Tomorrow, state and deny two new fictional roles without the model. Explain what I / me我no不是teacher老师 does and does not establish. Repeat a few days later with the roles swapped; revisit “Correct a wrong guess” if you accidentally assign the denied role.
Build “She is not a teacher” from these chunks.

Person + 不是 + identity gives 她不是老师.
Invent a student and a teacher. Write two Mandarin sentences for each person: one stating their role, one denying the other role. Say the sentences as that person. Then swap the fictional roles and revise all four sentences.
Compare and revise your own wording. Written self-review does not assess pronunciation or conversation quality.
