hello there everyone my name is Ronnie and you're watching England where you're
watching YouTube. Hi, Everyone!
um today's lesson is a very basic but very important lesson in english grammar
this lesson is for Alvaro, it's for you requested.
this is important because we're using the verb to be in the past: was and were
we use this verb a lot. so it's very important to know when to use was and
when to use were. I'll teach you. The very first one is: We use was for He, She, I, and It.
so we're going to say I was always passed shopping
she was laughing hahaha. um it was beautiful
ok so with all of these pronouns
all we're doing is adding not so we're going to say I was not but we don't say
ok I wasn't happy he wasn't sad so in the negative
all you do is you stick on is n't at the end and it turns to wasn't
if you want to ask a question you're going to change the order you're going
to use the verb was plus the subject
so you're going to say was he happy with the question you're going to raise your
information at the end was he happy
was she sad and it it can be used for singular things that are not people
so animals or if you talk about the weather or chairs
restaurants food you can say was it delicious
if you're talking about food or if you talk about the weather you can say
was it raining? it's raining now, I love rain though so it's fine
um the next section that we have to look at is the verb were if it is we
they you and again they are going to use were
so we were means myself and at least one other person
so that's the definition of were. so we were happy they is plural of which
means more than one person but not yourself so if I'm talking about other
I can say they were they were singing
oh you I saw you you were watching the video
hey honey you written they twice
now I didn't make a mistake they has two meanings
the very first one I told you is the plural of talk about people so i can say
they were seeing the other definition of the way we use they is like it
now so singular nouns we use it
plural nouns we used a for example if you're talking about a group of dogs
he's a were her growling okay so they has two meanings plural nouns and people
who so they were if their dogs they can grow her
there's a new word growl on the negative form is words kind of a hard word to say
words again when you're going to make the negative all you're going to do is
the only way we would use was not or were not is if you're trying to be very
and they work if you want to make it very very strong
you're going to use were not we were not happy with our service
ok the question form is basically the same as was that we have to be careful
bill to subject and again at the end of a question in English it's a rising
intonation where we have he were they singing
ok so was and were always in the past is the past tense was for these subjects
and work for these subjects negative and question form
I hope you get it I hope you understand it i hope you can use it
