Words with "to be"

I need a list of words that go after the verb "to be." For example: to be happy, to be hungry, to be angry...etc

I can make the list myself but I would like to provide a comprehensive list for my students.

Re: Words with "to be"

Are you kidding ? There are countless adjectives that can be used after "to be" ! (Here are some examples for your "list" : to be foolish, to be frivolous...........)
