Read the explanations and then watch this video.
Empieza leyendo las explicaciones y luego mira este vídeo y para aprender a usar el pasado del verbo TO BE (ser / estar).
Fíjate que la forma inglesa del pasado corresponde a dos formas españolas. Nosotros preferimos una u otra forma según el contexto, pero en inglés es más sencillo porque sólo tienen una.
- I was a waiter 
Yo fui camarero / Yo era camarero.
- You were in Barcelona yesterday Ayer estuviste/estabas en Barcelona
- He was playing tennis estaba/estuvo jugando al tenis
- There was a tree in my garden había/hubo un árbol en mi jardín
Report mistakesThe verb TO BE is very irregular. This is the past tense:
I WAS
You WERE
He, she, it WAS
We WERE
You WERE
They WERE
I am a waiter I was a waiter
You are in Salamanca today You were in Barcelona yesterday
He is playing tennis He was playing tennis
There is a tree in my garden There was a tree in my garden
