Sol sayfa · Anlatım

was / were, am / is / are fiillerinin geçmiş zaman halidir. Geçmişte bir yerde olmayı, bir durumu ya da bir özelliği anlatır: evdeydim, yorgundu, hava güzeldi. Türkçedeki -dı / -di / -du / -dü ekinin (evdeydi, yorgundu) İngilizcedeki karşılığı budur.

A am / is → was, are → were

Şimdi saat 10. Ayşe ofiste: She is at work now. Dün saat 10'da evdeydi: She was at home yesterday.

Şimdi → is, dün → was. Fiil değişti, çünkü zaman değişti.

ŞimdiGeçmiş
I amI was
he / she / it ishe / she / it was
you / we / they areyou / we / they were

→ I, he, she, it → was → you, we, they → were

Türkçede '-dı' eki kelimenin sonuna gelir (evdeydi). İngilizcede ise was / were ayrı bir kelimedir ve öznenin hemen arkasına gelir: She was at home.

  • I'm tired now. I was tired last night too.Şimdi yorgunum. Dün gece de yorgundum.
  • The tea was very hot.Çay çok sıcaktı.
  • Mert and Can were at the match on Saturday.Mert ve Can cumartesi maçtaydı.
  • We were in Bodrum last summer.Geçen yaz Bodrum'daydık.
  • You were late this morning.Bu sabah geç kaldın / kaldınız.you hem 'sen' hem 'siz' demektir → her zaman were.
  • My grandmother was a teacher.Büyükannem öğretmendi.

B wasn't / weren't (değildi)

Dün saat 3'te Can, Zeynep'i aradı. Zeynep evde değildi, spor salonundaydı. She wasn't at home. She was at the gym.

Olumsuz yapmak için was / were kelimesinin arkasına not ekleriz. Konuşmada genellikle kısa hali kullanılır.

Uzun haliKısa hali
I / he / she / it was notwasn't
you / we / they were notweren't

→ was not = wasn't → were not = weren't

Türkçede: evde değildi. İngilizcede: wasn't at home. 'not' her zaman was/were'den sonra gelir.

  • I wasn't hungry at lunch.Öğle yemeğinde aç değildim.
  • The traffic wasn't bad this morning.Bu sabah trafik kötü değildi.
  • They weren't at the wedding.Onlar düğünde değildi.
  • It wasn't my fault!Benim hatam değildi!
  • We weren't at home last weekend. We were in Antalya.Geçen hafta sonu evde değildik. Antalya'daydık.

Soru yapmak için was / were kelimesini cümlenin başına alırız.

OlumluSoru

Türkçede soru bir ektir (evde miydi?). İngilizcede ise kelimelerin yeri değişir.

Kısa cevaplar:

Soru kelimeleriyle: Where were you? How was ...? Why were you ...?

D Zaman ifadeleri ve was born (doğdum)

Sarah was born in London in 1995. Now she lives in Istanbul. Sarah 1995'te Londra'da doğdu. Şimdi İstanbul'da yaşıyor.

was / were ile sık kullanılan zaman ifadeleri: → yesterday (dün), yesterday morning (dün sabah) → last night (dün gece), last week / last year (geçen hafta / geçen yıl) → in 2010 (2010'da), two days ago (iki gün önce)

Dikkat: 'dün gece' = last night (yesterday night değil!)

Doğmak: Türkçede 'doğdum' tek bir fiildir. İngilizcede ise was / were born deriz:

Türkçeİngilizce
Bursa'da doğdum.I was born in Bursa.
Nerede doğdun?Where were you born?
  • I was born in Trabzon in 1992.1992'de Trabzon'da doğdum.
  • Where were you born?Nerede doğdun?
  • My children were born in Ankara.Çocuklarım Ankara'da doğdu.
  • Elif was in Germany two years ago.Elif iki yıl önce Almanya'daydı.
  • Everyone was at the office yesterday morning.Dün sabah herkes ofisteydi.
  • It was very windy last night.Dün gece hava çok rüzgârlıydı.

Tek kişi → was (I, he, she, it). Birden çok kişi ve you → were. Soru sormak mı istiyorsun? Türkçedeki '-mıydı' ekini düşün ve Was / Were'i cümlenin en başına koy: Were you at home?

Sık yapılan hatalar

I born in 1990.I was born in 1990.Türkçede 'doğdum' tek fiildir, ama İngilizcede was / were born kullanılır. 'was' unutulmamalı.
They was very happy.They were very happy.they, we, you ile were kullanılır. was sadece I, he, she, it içindir.
You was late yesterday.You were late yesterday.you tek bir kişi ('sen') olsa bile her zaman were alır.
Were you at home? — Yes, I were.Were you at home? — Yes, I was.Soru 'Were you' ile başlasa da cevapta özne 'I' olur ve I ile was kullanılır.
Where you were last night?Where were you last night?Soru cümlesinde was / were öznenin önüne gelir: Where were you? Türkçedeki gibi sıralama değişmeden kalmaz.
