Past Simple of "to be"

Hi there!

I hope you are enjoying your Friday!

Seu progresso:

Beginners

I am and I’m also happy to help you learn some more English, so let’s get started!

We are going to look at the past simple of the verb “to be” today and how to use it correctly.Hoje vamos estudar o pasado simples do verbo “to be” e como usá-lo bem.

Below are some affirmative sentences containing “to be” in the past simple:

- I was cold.(Eu) Tinha frio.

- You (singular) were hungry.(Você) Tinha fome.

- He was tired.(Ele) Estava cansado.

- She was happy.(Ela) Estava feliz.

- It was funny.(Aquilo) Era divertido.

- We were at home.Estávamos em casa.

- You (plural) were at school.(Vocês) Estavam na escola.

- They were angry.Estavam zangados.

Remember that to form the negative, we just have to put “not” after “was” or “were”.

Remember that you can also use the contracted form of the verbs in the negative. You can see them in brackets.

- I was not (wasn’t) cold.

- You (singular) were not (weren’t) hungry.

- He was not (wasn’t) tired.

- She was not (wasn’t) happy.

- It was not (wasn’t) funny.

- We were not (weren’t) at home.

- You (plural) were not (weren’t) at school.

- They were not (weren’t) angry.

Finally, let’s look at some questions and short answers.

Remember that we put “was” or “were” at the beginning of questions followed by the subject of the sentence.Lembre-se que colocamos “was” ou “were” no principio das perguntas, seguido do sujeito da frase.

Were you (to one person) tired yesterday? Yes, I was / No, I wasn’t.Estava (você) cansado ontem? Sim, estava. / Não, não estava

Was he awake at five this morning? Yes, he was / No, he wasn’t.Estava ele acordado às cinco da manhã? Sim, estava. / Não, não estava

Was the film funny? Yes, it was / No, it wasn’t.Foi divertido o filme? Sim, foi / Não, não foi.

Were you (to more than one person) at work when I phoned this morning?
Yes, we were / No, we weren’t.Estavam vocês no trabalho quando liguei esta manhã? Sim, estávamos / Não, não estávamos.

I hope this has been helpful! For more on this topic, please check out units 61 to 63 of the ABA online course.

Have a great weekend!
