Verbos To Be e there to be

O verbo to be corresponde aos nossos "ser" e "estar". É um verbo irregular, porque sua conjugação se altera bastante em cada tempo verbal. Ele é usado quando as pessoas querem se apresentar (dar informações sobre si mesmas) ou falar com/sobre outras pessoas. Também utiliza-se para dizer o lugar onde coisas/pessoas estão.

Sua conjugação no Past Simple, na afirmativa, é:

• I was
• You were
• He, She, It was
• We were
• You were
• They were

There was e there were são traduzidos como existia/havia e existiam. "There was" é usado antes das pessoas I/He/She/It e "there were" usa-se antes das pessoas You/We/They.

No exercício, quando você quiser falar que existia, havia algo, usará there was/there were (preste atenção nas pessoas). E quando quiser dizer que alguém fez algo, basta usar was/were (também de acordo com a pessoa do discurso).
