Let’s practice a little! 

How was your last week?

My week was awesome.My last week was great.It was a little bit boring.It was terrible.OMG! It was amazing.

But, however, nevertheless and etc.THERE ISN’T just “ was” to say asentence in the past with “verb to be”.Because we also have “ were”. 

But teacher… When can use “ were”and “ was”? 

In few words, we have to use “ were” tothe personal pronouns ( You/ We/They) and “ was” to (I/He/She/It) 

Let’s practice a little! 

How were you when you were a child?

I was very shy.I was timid but friendly.I was very serious.I remember I was very studious andcommitted.I was very quiet and my brother was 

extremely irritating, but we were very close brothers.

How about you? How were you as a kid?

In Engli

sh we use “ was” and “ were” in SIMPLE PAST TENSE for two situations. The

first is:*TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IN THE PAST with one adjectiveexample: I was shy/ The boys were fat.Obs. Normally we use more “How “and “What” to make questions in this firstsituation!!!Ex. How was your week? What were you like?

Let’s use the language!? 

I was very shy when I was a child

 What’s the question? 

How were you when you were a child? or What were you like?

 Was your sister studious when you were children? Yes. She was studious when we were children.No. she was not/ wasn’t studious when we were children.

 What’s the question? 

How were you yesterday and how was your weekend?

The second situation we can use “ was” and“ were” in simple past tense is: 

To say one place you were in the past and ingeneral we use “Where” and “Which place” tomake questions in this situation and answerindicating a place.For instance:

 Where were you yesterday? Which place was 

 your mother last Monday?

I was at home and she was in her job.

 We were in the

shopping mall lastFriday.

 What’s the question? 

 Where were you last Friday?

 Yes. I was in CNA today morning.No. I wasn’t in CNA today morning

 What’s the correct question? 

 Where were you today morning? ( ) Were you in CNA today morning? ( )
