# Source: ST §Was/Were + §Was Not/Were Not (merged tables) + new talk-through
$GRAMMAR "Was" and "Were"
ID: l3-s11
INTRO: In this lesson you'll learn to say where people are from, name the days and months, and talk about the past. First, the key tool: "was" and "were" — what "is" and "are" become when yesterday gets involved.
CARD: To talk about **now**, use **am**, **is**, and **are**.
{I am in the U.S. now.}
{Mr. Brown is in the U.S. now.}
{They are in the U.S. now.}
CARD: To talk about the **past** — yesterday, last year — "am" and "is" become **was**.
{I was in Spain last year.}
{Mr. Brown was in Spain last year.}
CARD: With "we", "you", "they", and two people, "are" becomes **were**.
{John and Sue were in Spain last year.}
CARD: For the negative, add **not**. "Was not" becomes **wasn't**, and "were not" becomes **weren't**.
{wasn't}
{weren't}
SUMMARY:
| Now | Past |
|---|---|
| am / is | was |
| are | were |
| isn't | wasn't |
| aren't | weren't |
