La forme passée
Commençons par la forme affirmative. Il suffit de conjuguer is et are au past simple. Ce qui donne was et were.
Exemples :
There was a book on the table.
There were 2 books on the table.
Ici on a donc les structures suivantes :
There was + COD singulier
There were + COD pluriel
Enchaînons directement avec les formes négative et interrogative du passé. Comme au présent, il suffit de passer was et were à la forme négative, ce qui donne : wasn’t et weren’t, et d’inverser there et le verbe à la forme interrogative.
Exemples :
There wasn’t a book on the table.
Was there a book on the table?
There weren’t 2 books on the table.
Were there 2 books on the table?
Ici on a donc les structures suivantes :
There wasn't + COD singulier
There weren't + COD pluriel
Was there + COD singulier ?
Were there + COD pluriel ?
