I Was...(Sad Without You!)
Last week, Rory was on holidays in Rome. Mac was at home. Poor Mac!
We use to be a lot when we talk about things in the past, for example...
-
I was at home.
-
You were at school.
-
Sarah was here.
-
He was in the garden.
-
We were hungry.
-
Mac and Rory were tired.
Now, Rory is showing Mac some of his favourite photos from the trip.
This statue was really cool!
And these dog statues were so cute!
Cute? Look at their teeth!
To make the negative, add not. Most people use the conversational form when they talk. You can use either.

Some statues weren't so cool. They were missing heads or arms.
