That's us vs that are us?

Hi, everyone.

Could you tell me in which contexts can I use these three setences or fragments? I would be much obliged.

That's us sometimes.

That are us.

It's us.

Thanks!

The subject has to agree with the verb, so we have to use "is" with "that" because "that" is singular. "

The subject has to agree with the verb, so we have to use "is" with "that" because "that" is singular. You want to say "That's us" or "It's us."

Technically, it should be "It is we," but people don't really say that because it sounds fairly unnatural, so I suggest you say, "It's us" or "That's us."
