Dear Yayya, I can't explain it, b'cause i'm not english teacher. I just wanna give you some example : we may use "is" in the following: * is she student * is the book on the table? * is she writing a letter now (Present Continous Tense) * is the table cleaned by your mother?

Hi,
You just have to go back to basics of English grammar. Both words are verbs with their shades of meaning and grammar. Both can be auxiliary verbs and have the meaning content.
