It’s a grammatical simplification of using the verb “to be”. Not sure I understand your confusion.

Our English language is being plundered and destructed bit by bit. I'm glad you are highlighting this problem.

You ought to teach in a public school. "It was a fight yesterday" IT has replaced the word THERE.

Nobody knows verb tense anymore, so “be” is the universal use.
