Explication
Was(n't) dan were(n't) adalah bentuk past dari linking verb atau copula be.
Copula adalah kata kerja yang menghubungkan subjek kalimat dengan komplemennya. Subject complement sendiri dapat berupa adjective, noun, atau adverb tertentu - tapi tidak bisa berupa kata kerja.
Contoh penggunaan was/were sebagai copula:
- I was late yesterday.
- They were happy last year.
- Sally wasn't a student here.
Was digunakan ketika subjek kalimatnya adalah I, he, she dan it. Sedangkan were digunakan ketika subjek kalimat jamak (you, we, they).
Did adalah bentuk past dari kata kerja (bantu) do.
Sebagai kata kerja bantu, did digunakan dalam kalimat negatif atau interogatif dan diikuti kata kerja dasar (tanpa konjugasi).
Contoh penggunaan did sebagai kata kerja bantu:
- I didn't open the door.
- They didn't go to school yesterday.
- Did your sister stay at home last night?
