This may not be what you want but here it is anyway. "Is" is the present tense of the verb "to be". It is used in the third person singular to connect a subject and its complement.

"is" is more like a functional word that has no meaning of its own unless it is used in context.
It is used quite a bit just to connect other elements of the sentence while showing that the statement is about something in the present (as opposed to was, which shows the past).
