PRESENT AND PAST – VERB TO BE (ser o estar)


              PRESENT                  PAST
I             am                       was
YOU           are                      were
HE – SHE - IT is                       was
WE            are                      were
YOU           are                      were
THEY          are                      were

Examples:

  • I am at the library. (Yo estoy en la biblioteca)
  • I was at the library. (Yo estaba en la biblioteca)
  • Today he is happy, but yesterday he was sad. (Hoy él
    es feliz, pero ayer él estaba triste).
  • Before the exam the students were very nervous.
    (Antes del examen los alumnos estaban muy
    nerviosos).

Today = hoy (tiempo presente)
Yesterday = ayer (tiempo pasado)

Cuidado con la 1ª persona, que en el caso del pasado de
este verbo coincide con la 3ª: was
NEGATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE FORMS
Al igual que sucede con el presente, la forma negativa del
pasado en el verbo TO BE se forma añadiendo NOT al
verbo, de modo que nos quedan dos formas: wasn´t y
weren´t.
Examples:
  − I wasn´t at school at ten o´clock, I was at the doctor.
    (Yo no estaba en el colegio a las diez, estaba en el
    médico).
  − The lion wasn´t hungry. (El león no estaba hambriento).
  − You weren´t ready for the exam. (Vosotros no estabáis
    listos para el examen).

En cuanto a la forma interrogativa, las frases se forman
igual que en el presente, es decir, el verbo pasa a ocupar el
primer puesto de la oración.
Examples:
  − Were you at the library at half past ten? (¿Estabas en la
    biblioteca a las once y media?)
  − Was she Maria´s mum? (¿Era ella la madre de Maria?)
  − Were they famous? (¿Eran ellos famosos?)
