Verified answer

Mira, el was/were sabemos que es el verbo to be (ser/estar) en pasado, así que de ahí partes para hacer tu pregunta...

+ Were you at school yesterday?

+ Was I mistaken?

- She wasn't a model!...Was she?

- I thought he was going to come, wasn't he?

Was es para I, he, she, it....y were es para you, we, they....

Y el did es un auxiliar, en este caso que tu dices, para preguntas en general, y si te fijas el significado cambia...no es lo mismo decir "¿estabas en la escuela ayer?" a "¿Fuiste a la escuela ayer?

Did you go to school yesterday?

Did I make a mistake?

You went to school yesterday...didn't you?

Aquí sería "Fuiste a la escuela ayer....o no?"...esto no es una traducción, más bien una interpretación para más o menos darte una idea de lo que sería en nuestro idioma...

You didn't tell her the truth...did you?

Espero haberte ayudado..:S

Was were y did se refieren al pasado.

Tu pregunta es muy amplia, ya que no existe un único uso de las palabras por las cuáles preguntas, pero es evidente que estás preguntando por el pasado simple.

Was y were son las formas pasadas de am, is y are.

am/is : was

are: were

Así que cuando se quiere usar el verbo to be en pasado, se usa was y were según corresponda.

Are you at work?

Were you at work yesterday?

I am at work.

I was at work.

He is not at work.

He was not at work.

Was not tiene forma corta: wasn't.

Were not tiene forma corta: weren't.

Did es lo que llamamos un auxiliar de pasado. En sí no tiene traducción cuando funciona como auxiliar.

Se usa para formar preguntas y también para negaciones.

El orden de las palabras en las preguntas es:

QU + A + S + I

Question Word + auxiliar + sujeto + infinitivo.

Where did you go yesterday?

What did you do yesterday?

When did they arrive?

Why did she cry?

También pueden hacerse preguntas por sí o por no.

La estructura es:

A+ S + I

Auxiliar + Sujeto + Infinitivo

Did you study?

Did he go to work?

Did she call him?

Las respuestas a esas preguntas, pueden ser cortas.

Para respuestas cortas, se usa el auxiliar did.

Did you study?

Yes, I did.

No, I didn't.

Did she come with you?

Yes, she did.

No, she didn't.

Cuando se formulan preguntas en pasado con was y were, no hace falta did. Was y Were se preguntan y se responden solos, sin ayuda del auxiliar:

Were your friends at the party?

Yes, they were.

No, they weren't.

Where was he last night?

He was at work.

Eso es todo.

Saludos :)

was y were son el pasado del tobe

asi como en el presente utilizas am is y are

was se utiliza paras tercera personas(He;she; it; ademas de I)

were se utiliza para los demas( they;you;we)

el did es el pasado del do y aca no se hace ninguna excepecion`

siempre cuando preguntas utilizas primero el verbo ya sea em presente en pasado o en futuro

Presente

are you student?

Pasado

were you student?

futuro

you will student?

lo mismo va con did y no mas lleva el signo de interrogacion al final de la pregunta

El was were es pasado de to be, es decir de ser o estar, por ejemplo Were you there? Estuviste ahi?

El did se usa para otros verbos por ejemplo Did you eat yesterday? Comiste ayer?
