Was / Were + 形容词:描述过去
要说某样东西过去是什么样的,用 was 或 were 加形容词。
中文说「那家酒店很漂亮」不需要动词,形容词直接当谓语;英语里 be 动词不能省,而且要跟着主语和时间变形。这是中文母语者最容易漏掉的一环。
什么时候用 was,什么时候用 were?
- I was → 我(过去)是
- He / She / It was → 他/她/它(过去)是
- You / We / They were → 你/我们/他们(过去)是
句型
- 肯定:主语 + was/were + 形容词
- The hotel was beautiful. → 那家酒店很漂亮。
- The beaches were crowded. → 那些海滩人很多。
- 否定:主语 + was/were + not + 形容词
- The food was not bad. → 食物不难吃。
- We were not disappointed. → 我们没有失望。
- 疑问:Was/Were + 主语 + 形容词?
- Was the trip exciting? → 那次旅行有意思吗?
- Were the people friendly? → 那里的人友好吗?
缩写形式
- was not → wasn't
- were not → weren't
小技巧:想给一次过去的经历下个总评,用 It was + 形容词 就够了。

How was the people?How were the people?people 在英语里是复数名词,所以用 were。
I were tiredI was tired主语是 I 的时候永远用 was,不用 were。
Were the food good?Was the food good?food 是不可数名词,当单数看,所以用 was。
The hotel were very niceThe hotel was very nicehotel 是单数,所以用 was,不是 were。
It was very much crowdedIt was very crowded英语说 very crowded,不说 very much crowded。
