Was, were
Minulý čas od "to be" = "být".
I was at home. He / She / It was at home.
You were at home. We were at home. They were at home.
"were" se čte jako /wə(r)/ nebo /wɜː(r)/. NEČTE se jako "where" nebo "wear"! Jeho častější výslovnost, /wə(r)/ je tak krátká, až ji skoro neuslyšíte.
Kdo si tu výslovnost chce ověřit, tady máte britský slovník z Oxfordu:
