Hi Nathaly! This sentence refers to the future and this is why it has the verb to be to mean (I will be). Other examples: - غداً سأكون في المكتب - في السنة القادمة سأكون في أمريكا The same applies to the past tense: - أمس كنت في المكتب - في السنة الفائتة كنت في أمريكا - عندما كنت صغيراً، كان لديّ وقت كثير Only in present tense we don't need the verb to be: - أنا في المكتب الآن - أنا في أمريكا اليوم - لديّ وقت كثير اليوم But you still can change the structure of your sentence and get rid of the verb to be even in the future form: - ليس لديّ وقتٌ كثير غداً (Pls note that in this sentence we have the word غداً which still indicates the future tense, otherwise we can't drop the verb to be.) Hope this explanation would be helpful.

@tasnim So, Ladeyya is not a verb? What about 'andy? I also have confusing to know which one I should use. Ana 'andy and Ana Ladeyya. side note: verb "to be" in this sentence would be Yakuun

I think لدي means to/for me not exactly verbe to be . Cuz لن يكون الوقت كثير is correct and it means time won't be much ..So we added "for me " That's my opinion. Thks
