note: the verb to be including the forms is, was, etc. is
used in forming the passive voice of other verbs; as,
john has been struck by james. it is also used with the
past participle of many intransitive verbs to express a
state of the subject. but have is now more commonly
used as the auxiliary, though expressing a different
sense; as, "ye have come too late -- but ye are come. "
"the minstrel boy to the war is gone." the present and
imperfect tenses form, with the infinitive, a
particular future tense, which expresses necessity,
duty, or purpose; as, government is to be supported; we
are to pay our just debts; the deed is to be signed
to-morrow.

syn: to be, exist.
usage: the verb to be, except in a few rare cases, like that
of shakespeare's "to be, or not to be", is used simply
as a copula, to connect a subject with its predicate;
as, man is mortal; the soul is immortal. the verb to
exist is never properly used as a mere copula, but
points to things that stand forth, or have a
substantive being; as, when the soul is freed from all
corporeal alliance, then it truly exists. it is not,
therefore, properly synonymous with to be when used as
a copula, though occasionally made so by some writers
for the sake of variety; as in the phrase "there
exists is no reason for laying new taxes." we may,
indeed, say, "a friendship has long existed between
them," instead of saying, "there has long been a
friendship between them;" but in this case, exist is
not a mere copula. it is used in its appropriate sense
to mark the friendship as having been long in
existence.
