Past simple of „to be"
Lekcija 1 — Was / were: to be u prošlosti
Najlakši ulaz u prošlost. „I am" → „I was". „You are" → „You were". Samo dva oblika za sve subjekte. Ako znaš ovo, već možeš da kažeš gde si bio juče, ko je bio sa tobom, kako si se osećao.
Šta ćeš naučiti
Was / were
Dva oblika za prošlost.
Pitanje
Premešti was/were ispred subjekta.
Negacija
wasn't / weren't.
Forma — dva oblika, bez izuzetaka
| Subjekat | Sadašnjost | Prošlost |
|---|---|---|
| I | am | was |
| You | are | were |
| He / She / It | is | was |
| We | are | were |
| You (mn.) | are | were |
| They | are | were |
Šablon: I + was, You/We/They + were
Jedno pravilo, dva oblika:
• WAS ide sa I, he, she, it (jednina, osim „you")
• WERE ide sa you, we, they (množina + „you")
Nema nepravilnih oblika, nema izuzetaka. Posle deset minuta vežbe ovo ti uđe u ruku.
Was/were — sve forme
(+) Subj + was/were | (−) Subj + wasn't/weren't | (?) Was/Were + subj?
Pitanje i negacija prave se isto kao kod am/is/are u sadašnjosti - bez „did". Glagol „be" se ponaša kao pomoćni: sam premešta i sam negira.

Pazi na ovo
I were at home yesterday. / She were happy. / You was late.
I was at home yesterday. / She was happy. / You were late.
Najčešća greška: pomešaš was/were. Pravilo opet:<br>• <strong>I, he, she, it</strong> → <em>was</em><br>• <strong>You, we, they</strong> → <em>were</em><br>„You" UVEK ide sa <em>were</em>, čak i kad je samo jedna osoba („You were late" = ti si zakasnio). To je istorijski ostatak.
Sad praksa
Was ili were
I was at home yesterday. The weather was terrible.
Bio sam kod kuće juče. Vreme je bilo grozno.

Was/were su rešeni. Ali to je samo glagol „be" u prošlosti. Većina glagola u Past Simple-u ima drugačiju formu — pravilni dodaju -ed, iregularni se menjaju potpuno. Sledeća lekcija ti daje pravilne glagole + -ed pravopis.
