Simple Past

Usamos quase todos as formas do verbo "to be" no Simple Past, pois as orações se referem a fatos que ocorreram no passado e não se relacionam mais com o presente (estão finalizados).

1. A long time ago, London was an important city, but it is different from London today. There were not very many big buildings. There were a lot of small boats on the river.

(Há muito tempo, Londres era uma cidade importante, mas é diferente de Londres hoje. Não havia muitos edifícios grandes. Havia muitos barcos pequenos no rio.)

2. The children was playing outside.

Usamos "was" porque o sujeito pertence à 3ª pessoa do singular (The children).

3. The dog was barking at us.

Como o sujeito "the dog" pertence à 3ª pessoa do singular, temos que usar "was", não "were".

4. My teacher was explaining the exercise to me.

5. Those people were walking towards the library.

Agora, usamos "were" porque o sujeito, "those people", pertence à 3ª pessoa do plural (they/eles).
