to talk about something at a
definite time in the past:

The past simple of be is "was" or
"were": the form depends on the
subject as it is almost always the
case
English has two types of verbs in the
past
-Regular
-Irregular
Affirmative sentence
To make affirmative sentence with the verb to be in
this tense you have only to use: was or were
Negative sentences
To make negative sentences with the verb to be in this
tense you have to use:
was+not (wasn´t) or
were+not (weren´t)
Interrogative

Negative
1.- Did + subject + not + infinitive
2.- Didn´t + subject + infinitive
*Regular verbs are verbs that end with –ed
*In English, there are a number of verbs
whose simple past do not follow any
rules, and therefore, are called irregular
verbs.
