TO BE VERBS (IN THE PAST) 
WAS, WERE 
 
PART IV 
 
HOW TO MAKE ​INTERROGATIVE​ AND ​NEGATIVE​ SENTENCES USING TO BE 
VERBS IN THE PAST. 
 
Para criar frases negativas e interrogativas no passado usando verbos TO BE 
(was,were), basta seguirmos as mesmas regras utilizadas no presente (Parts I and II). 
 
Temos abaixo exemplos de frases afirmativas no passado, usando os verbo “BE”. A 
primeira coisa que precisamos fazer é identificar o verbo TO BE na frase. 
 
They ​were​ happy together. (Eles estavam felizes juntos) 
He ​was​ fixing the car. (Ele estava consertando o carro) 
I ​was​ studying for the test. (Eu estava estudando pro teste) 
 
Se o objetivo é criar frases interrogativas, basta colocar esses verbos (was, were) no 
início da frase e repetir todo o restante. 
 
Were​ they happy together? (Eles estavam felizes juntos?) 
Was​ he fixing the car? (Ele estava consertando o carro?) 
Was​ I studying for the test? (Eu estava estudando pro teste?) 
 
Se o objetivo é criar frases negativas, basta acrescentarmos o ​NOT​ após o verbo TO 
BE presente na frase. 
 
They ​were​ NOT happy together. (Eles não estavam felizes juntos) 
He ​was​ NOT fixing the car. (Ele não estava consertando o carro) 
I ​was​ NOT studying for the test. (Eu não estava estudando pro teste) 
 
Obs.: Para fazer a contração do verbo WAS/WERE + NOT, juntamos as duas 
palavras e sumimos com a letra O, substituindo-o por um apóstrofo (‘). 
 
WAS + NOT = WASN’T 
WERE + NOT = WEREN’T
