定义 / 说明
be 在 Past Simple 中的形式是 was 和 were。我们用它谈过去的人、地点、感受和状态。这通常是学习者接触的第一个过去时形式之一，因为在日常叙述和描述中非常常见。和现在时的 be 一样，它有自己的规则，肯定句不使用 did。
关键规则
- I, he, she, it 和单数名词用 was。
- you, we, they 和复数名词用 were。
- 用于已结束时间的过去表达：yesterday, last year, 以及已经结束的 this morning。
- 否定形式是 wasn't 和 weren't。
- 疑问句需要倒装：Was he late? Were they at home?
例句
- I was tired yesterday. - 我昨天很累。
- She was at work this morning. - 她今天早上在上班。
- It was very cold last night. - 昨晚很冷。
- We were at home on Sunday. - 我们周日在家。
- They were happy after the game. - 比赛后他们很开心。
常见错误
- ❌ I were tired yesterday. -> ✅ I was tired yesterday.
- ❌ They was at home. -> ✅ They were at home.
- ❌ She didn't be happy. -> ✅ She wasn't happy.
提示
- 先记两组：I/he/she/it was 和 you/we/they were。
