Grammar

Do you know how we use the verbs "to be" in the past tense? Watch a short explanation and repeat the example sentences after me.

The past forms of the verb “to be" are "was" and "were". We use "was" with I, he, she, and it. For example: "I was here yesterday." We use "were" with you, we, you and they. For example: "You were here yesterday." In negative sentences, we put "not" after "was" or "were". The short forms are "wasn’t" and "weren’t". For example: "I wasn’t here yesterday." In questions, we start with "was" or "were". For example: "Was he here yesterday?"
