Verbs that describe a condition or state of being are called 'to be' verbs or 'verbs to be', even 'state of being' verbs. They are:

Present tense: I am; we are; you are; he, she, it is; they are.

Past tense: I was; we were; you were; he, she, it was; they were.

Past participle: I, we, you, they have been; he, she, it has been.

Present participle: I, am being; you are being; he, she, it is being.
