Restricted form of the English language
E-Prime (short for English-Prime or English Prime, sometimes É or E′) denotes a restricted form of English in which authors avoid all forms of the verb to be. E-Prime excludes forms such as be, being, been, present tense forms (am, is, are), past tense forms (was, were) along with their positive and negative contractions (e.g. isn't, aren't, wasn't, weren't, ain't, twas, I'm, we're, you're, he's, she's, it's, they're, there's, that's). Some scholars claim that E-Prime can clarify thinking and strengthen writing, while others doubt its utility.
