ما هي was و were؟
was وwere هما صيغتا الماضي من الفعل be. نستخدمهما للحديث عن الأمس والزمن المنتهي: I was tired. They were happy. وعندما ترى yesterday أو last night أو سنة ماضية مثل 1993 فالجملة تحتاج was أو were، لا am أو is أو are.
Was and were on a past timeline
Yesterday needs was or were; today needs am, is or are.
القاعدة
الصيغة تتبع الفاعل، مثل am وis وare تماماً. مع I وhe وshe وit والمفرد نستخدم was، ومع you وwe وthey والجمع نستخدم were.
للنفي نضيف not بعد الفعل مباشرة، وللسؤال يتقدم الفعل على الفاعل. والفعل be يكوّن سؤاله بنفسه في الماضي أيضاً، فلا نضيف معه did.
الصيغة
| الفاعل | إثبات | نفي | سؤال |
|---|---|---|---|
| I / he / she / it | was | was not (wasn't) | Was I …? |
| you / we / they | were | were not (weren't) | Were you …? |
أمثلة
- I was tired yesterday.
- She was at home last night.
- They were happy at the party.
- We were not late this morning.
- Were you sick? — No, I was not.
أخطاء شائعة
- ❌ They was happy. ← ✅ They were happy. كلمة they تعني أكثر من واحد، لذلك تحتاج were.
- ❌ She teacher yesterday. ← ✅ She was a teacher. الجملة الاسمية في العربية لا تحتاج فعلاً، أما الإنجليزية فلا تستغني عنه حتى في الماضي.
- ❌ Did you were sick? ← ✅ Were you sick? الفعل be يصوغ السؤال وحده، فلا تضف did.
- ❌ I were tired. ← ✅ I was tired. مع I نستخدم was دائماً.
