Prošlo vreme glagola biti, was i were

-Was i Were su jedini oblici glagola ,,to be’’ (biti) u

prošlom vremenu.

Pozitivni oblici u prošlom vremenu glagola ,,to be’’ su:

I was - ja sam bio/bila
You were - ti si bio/bila
He was - on je bio
She was - ona je bila
It was - ono je bilo
We were - mi smo bili
You were - vi ste bili
They were - oni su bili
• Past Simple

1. It was awake all night. ( Bila sam budna celu noć)

- Ovde vidimo da imamo WAS i awake, dakle ‘’bila
sam budna’’. U ovom slučaju je WAS pomoćni glagol,
dok je awake – naš glavni glagol, odnosno predikat.

2. You were tall as a child. ( Bio si visok kao dete)

- Dakle, u ovom slučaju WERE je naš glavni glagol, zbog toga što nemamo drugog glagola u
rečenici, a TALL je pridev koji opisuje dete.

3. He was happy a year ago. ( Bio je srećan prošle godine)

- Dakle, vidimo da imamo samo WAS bez drugog glagola, i u tom slučaju je to glagol,
odnosno predikat, zbog toga što je HAPPY reč koja se nalazi iza WAS, a to je pridev i opisuje
stanje osobe pre godinu dana.

4. She was home last night. (Bila je kod kuće sinoć)

5. It was sunny a week ago. (Bilo je sunčano pre sedam dana)
6. We were awake all night. (Bili smo budni celu noć)
7. You were invited to my party. (Bili smo pozvani na moju žurku)
8. They were home yesterday. (Juče smo bili kod kuće)
 Was i Were se mogu upotrebljavati kada je u pitanju
‘’Past Simple’’, ali takođe se mogu upotrebljavati i kada
je u pitanju ‘’Past Continuous’’.

• Dakle, za razliku od Past Simple vremena,

Past Continuous - mora da sadrži u svojim rečenicama pomoćni glagol
WAS ili WERE, pošto WAS ili WERE u ovom slučaju nama pružaju
dodatne informacije o vremenu u kojem se nalazi naš glavni glagol,
odnosno predikat.
Pri tome, WAS se nalazi ispred glagola koji ima nastavak ‘’ing’’, kao što
vidimo u našem prvom primeru ‘’was sleeping’’..
Imamo WAS i WERE nastavak ing.

- I was sleeping all night. (Spavala sam celu noć)

• You were walking fast. ( Brzo si hodao)
• He was talking to her. (Pričao je s njom)
• She was running a marathon. (Trčala je maraton)
• It was raining a week ago. (Padala je kiša pre sedam dana)
• We were watching movies all night. (Gledali smo filmove
celu noć)
• You were studying for the exam all day. (Ceo dan smo učili
za ispit)
• They were looking for her. (Tražili su je)

Dakle, u svim slučajevima su WAS ili WERE pomoćni glagoli, i

nakon njih ravno stoji glavni glagol koji ima nastavak ING.
Upitni oblik:

Kad su u pitanju WAS ili WERE - uz pomoću njih možemo

da gradimo i pitanja.
Tu se dešava inverzija subjekta i glagola.

- Was I the one who told you? (Da li sam ja koja ti je to

rekla?)
WAS I WERE se nalaze na početnom mestu i rečenici, a nakon njih se nalazi subjekat i onda
ostatak rečenice.

- Were you home last night. (Da li si bio kod kuće

sinoć?)
- Was he there? (Da li je bio tu?)
- Was she happy? (Da li je bila srećna?)
- Was it snowing yesterday? (Da li je padao sneg juče?)
- Were we invited? (Da li smo mi bili pozvani?)
- Were you her friends? (Da li ste bili njeni prijatelji?)
- Were they alone? (Da li su bili sami?)
