Grammar notes

Was Not? Were You? (Past Simple: Was/Were Negatives and Questions)

To make a negative, use was not / were not.

To make a question, move was or were to the front.

It is the same little verb, just doing a different job in the sentence.

  • Example: She was not tired.
  • Example: Were you at the party?

Quick Rule

  • negative -> was not / were not
  • question -> Was / Were + subject

Small move, big effect: front for questions, after the subject for negatives.
