🟡 Step 1. 개념 익히기 — was와 were 구분하기

📌 be동사의 과거형이란?

과거에 ~였다, ~에 있었다 라고 말할 때 씁니다.
현재형 am, is, are는 과거형에서 was, were로 바뀝니다.

✅ was와 were 구분하기

주어	과거형 be동사
I (나)	was
He, She, It, 단수명사	was
You, We, They, 복수명사	were

🔑 쉽게 기억하기

I는 항상 was
You는 항상 were
그 외엔 단수는 was, 복수는 were

✅ 예문으로 확인하기

🔍 Step 2. 부정문과 의문문 만들기

부정문	주어 + was/were + not	She was not sick.(= wasn’t sick)
