Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb “to be” (am, is, are) for each sentence.

We need to match the subject with the right helping verb:

- I → am
- You → are
- He / She / It → is
- We / They → are

Now let’s apply this to each sentence:

1. I ______ standing.
→ Subject: I → use “am”
I am standing.

2. You ______ skating.
→ Subject: You → use “are”
You are skating.

3. He ______ writing.
→ Subject: He → use “is”
He is writing.

4. She ______ hopping.
→ Subject: She → use “is”
She is hopping.

5. It ______ sitting.
→ Subject: It → use “is”
It is sitting.

6. We ______ relaxing.
→ Subject: We → use “are”
We are relaxing.

7. You ______ smiling.
→ Subject: You → use “are”
You are smiling.

8. They ______ crying.
→ Subject: They → use “are”
They are crying.

Finally, at the bottom:
I am ________ you!
This is a friendly message — likely “I am happy for you!” or “I am proud of you!” but since it’s about verbs and grammar, and we’re using “am”, the most common simple phrase is:
I am rooting for you!
But wait — looking at the context, maybe it’s just completing the pattern? Actually, no — the blank is after “I am”, so it needs an adjective or verb+ing that makes sense emotionally. Since all other sentences are actions, perhaps it’s “cheering”? But actually, in many worksheets like this, the last one is often “I am proud of you!” or “I am happy for you!”

Wait — let’s check again. The instruction says: “Complete the sentences... Then write the picture number...” — but there’s no picture numbers given here. So maybe we ignore that part for now.

Actually, re-reading: the main task is to fill in the blanks with “am/is/are”. The last line is separate: “I am ________ you!” — probably meant to be filled with a word like “proud of” or “happy for”, but since it’s not specified, and based on typical worksheet patterns, it might be expecting “rooting for” or simply left as is? No — actually, looking at the structure, perhaps it’s a trick — but no, the user didn’t ask for that part specifically.

Wait — the original problem shows checkboxes next to each sentence, and then at the bottom: “I am ________ you!” — likely meant to be completed with a positive emotion word. But since the focus is on grammar (am/is/are), and “I am” is already given, the blank is for the rest of the phrase.

However, in many such worksheets, the final line is “I am proud of you!” or “I am cheering for you!” — but without more context, the safest and most common completion is:

I am proud of you!

But let’s double-check — maybe it’s “I am supporting you!”? Or “I am believing in you!”? Actually, the most standard and widely used phrase in school contexts is:

I am proud of you!

Alternatively, if they want a verb ending in -ing, it could be “cheering for”, but “proud of” is more natural.

Wait — looking back at the image description (even though I’m not supposed to mention it), the last box has two characters hugging or celebrating — so “proud of” fits.

But actually — hold on! The instruction says: “Then write the picture number for writing the words on the answer sheet.” — but since no picture numbers are provided in the text, we can skip that part. Our job is to complete the sentences correctly.

So for the 8 sentences, we’ve got:

1. am
2. are
3. is
4. is
5. is
6. are
7. are
8. are

And for the last line: “I am ________ you!” — since it’s not multiple choice, and based on common usage, I’ll go with “proud of”.

But wait — maybe it’s “happy for”? Let me think… In educational materials, “I am proud of you!” is extremely common.

Alternatively, could it be “I am loving you!”? That sounds odd. “I am supporting you!” — possible, but less common.

Actually, upon second thought — perhaps the blank is meant to be filled with a verb in -ing form to match the others? Like “I am cheering for you!” — that would fit the pattern.

Looking at the other sentences: standing, skating, writing, hopping, sitting, relaxing, smiling, crying — all are present continuous (-ing forms).

So “I am ________ you!” — should also be a verb + ing.

What verb + ing goes with “you” in a supportive way?

- cheering for you
- rooting for you
- supporting you (but “supporting” doesn’t take “for”)
- believing in you (again, not “for”)
- encouraging you

“Cheering for you” is perfect — matches the -ing pattern and is commonly used.

In fact, in sports or encouragement contexts, “I am cheering for you!” is very standard.

Also, in the image (though I won’t describe it), if there are characters celebrating, “cheering” fits.

So I’ll go with:

I am cheering for you!

Final decision:

Sentences 1–8:
1. am
2. are
3. is
4. is
5. is
6. are
7. are
8. are

Last line: cheering for

But to confirm — let’s make sure about subject-verb agreement once more:

- I → am ✔️
- You → are ✔️
- He → is ✔️
- She → is ✔️
- It → is ✔️
- We → are ✔️
- You → are ✔️
- They → are ✔️

All correct.

For the last one, “I am cheering for you!” — grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

Final Answer:
1. am
2. are
3. is
4. is
5. is
6. are
7. are
8. are
I am cheering for you!
