โณ Talking About the Past: Was and Were
Learn how to use 'was' and 'were' to talk about the past. You will be able to describe where you were and how you felt yesterday.
What is 'was'?
'Was' is the past form of 'am' and 'is'. We use 'was' with singular words like I, he, she, and it. Use 'was' when you talk about one person, one place, or one thing in the past. For example, you can talk about where you were yesterday or how you felt last week.
What is 'were'?
'Were' is the past form of 'are'. We use 'were' with plural words like we, you, and they. Use 'were' when you talk about two or more people, places, or things in the past. Remember to always use 'were' with the word 'you', even when you talk to only one person.
Making Negatives
To make a negative sentence, just add 'not' after 'was' or 'were'. We often use short forms to speak faster and more naturally in everyday conversation. Say 'wasn't' instead of 'was not', and say 'weren't' instead of 'were not'.
