English book I 1-dars. Ingliz alifbosi

19-dars. Was/were - "To be" fe'lining o'tgan zamon shakli

Hozirgi zamon:

I am working - Men ishlayapman.

O'tgan zamon:

I was working - men ishlayotgan edim

We were working - biz ishlayotgan edik.

O'tgan zamon 1- va 3-shaxs birlikda am/is/are o'rniga "was" qo'yiladi. Barcha ko'plikda va 2-shaxs birlikda "were" qo'yiladi.

O'tgan zamonda darag gap tuzish uchun ham avval ega, keyin was/were qo'yiladi: You were late yesterday - Siz kecha kech qoldingiz.

Darag gapni so'roq gapga aylantirish uchun avvalgidek was/were fe'lini egadan oldinga o'tkazamiz:

Was he afraid of dogs? - U itlardan qo'rqarmidi?

Were they at work? - Ular ishda edimi?

Qisqa javob berish mumkin.

Ha demoqchi bo'lsangiz:

Yes, I was. Yes, he was. Yes, she was. Yes, it was. Yes, we were. Yes, you were. Yes, they were.

Yo'q demoqchi bo'lsangiz:

No, I wasn't (was not). No, he wasn't. No, she wasn't. No, it wasn't. No, we weren't (were not). No, you weren't. No, they weren't.
