Úvodní informace | Mapa kurzu | Ohlasy a komentářeMinulý čas slovesa 'být'
Prvním slovesem, jehož minulý čas se naučíme, je základní sloveso 'být', tedy TO BE. V angličtině má pouze dva tvary:
was / wɒz 
/
were / wɜ: /
Kladné oznamovací věty
Nejprve se podíváme na sloveso být v kladných oznamovacích větách.| I was (byl jsem) |
we were
(byli jsme) |
| you were
(byl jsi) |
you were
(byli jste) |
| he/she/it was
(on byl, ona byla, to bylo) |
they were
(oni byli/ony byly) |
Všimněte si podobnosti mezi přítomným a minulým časem.
you are - you were
he is -- he was
we are - we were
they are - they were
V přítomném čase s tvary slovesa BÝT obvykle zkracují pomocí apostrofu (I'm, you're...). V minulém čase k tomuto nedochází.
Příklady:
The movie was great! 
We were at home.
Patrick Swayze was my mother's favorite actor.
Záporné věty
Zápor v minulém čase není žádnou vědou, prostě přidáme NOT, obzvláště zkrácenou fromu N'T:
wasn't / wɒznət /
weren't / wɜ:nt /
Příklady:
The book wasn't very interesting.
I don't know any details. I wasn't there.
Were your parents at the parent-teacher conference? -- No, they weren't.
Tázací věty
V otázkách už, jak jsme u slovesa být zvyklí, dochází k prohození slovesa a podmětu:
I was -- was I?
you were -- were you?
he was -- was he?
we were -- were we?
they were -- were they?
Příklady:
Were you at Janet's party?
Why was he late?
Where were your parents last night?
/ x were / wɜ: /
Poslechněte si poslední větu ještě jednou, pomaleji:
Where were your parents last night?
