NICOLE, ANDREA AND DANIELA, WE WILL TALK ABOUT

THE VERB TOBE IN PASS

The verb to be has only two forms in the past:

 Was (estuvo) (estaba)
 Were (eran) (fueron)

 Conjugation


 For the first and third person of the singular the word "was" is used; for the rest "were" used.

 For example:

 "She was a student". She was a student.
 "They were doctors." They were doctors.

 To ask a question you have to put "was / were" at the beginning of the sentence:

 "Was she a student?" She was a student?
 "Were they doctors?" They were doctors?

 In negative sentences you have to add the adverb "not" and put it after the word "was / were".

 Remember that most of the time the contraction (abbreviated form) is used in negative
sentences: "was not = was not" "were not = were not".

 "He was not at the cinema with us." He was not in the movies with us.
 "We were not at home on Sunday." We were not at home on Sunday.
 "I was not hungry". I was not hungry.
