1
Com­ple­te the sen­ten­ces with the ne­ga­ti­ve forms of the simp­le past.
Ver­voll­stän­di­ge die Sätze mit der Ver­nei­nungs­form des Simp­le Past.

Ex.: I went to a Christ­mas party, but I didn't like (not like) it.

1. Last year, we spent Christ­mas in Ha­waii but we   (not have) good weather.

2. On the first day, we went to the beach, but we   (not go) swim­ming.

3. We saw the de­co­ra­ted palm trees, but we   (not take) many pho­tos.

4. We wat­ched a Christ­mas show, but we   (not meet) Santa Claus.

As you can see, our Christ­mas ho­li­day in Ha­waii wasn't the best. We had to stay in­si­de a lot, and our hotel room wasn't very big. Howe­ver, there weren't many people at the beach, which was nice.

Du weißt schon: Das Verb 'to be' ist ein be­son­de­res Verb.

 Im Simp­le Past hat die Ver­nei­nung von was und were zwei For­men:



was not = wasn't und were not = weren't

Tip:

I, he, she, it

➡️was / wasn't

we, you, they

➡️ were / weren't
