Wann benutze ich were und wann benutze ich was?

Hi Leute: Wir haben in der Schule gerade das Thema past passive und ich wollte fragen wann ich was benutze und wann ich were benutzen muss.

Hallo,

das findest du auch im Grammatik-Teil in deinem Lehrbuch.

be (Infinitive) - was / were (Past Simple) - been (Past Participle)

Simple Past: was / were

1.Person Singular - I was / I was not / Was I ?

2.Person Singular - you were / you were not / Were you?

3.Person Singular - he/she/it was / he/she/it was not / Was he/she/it?

1.Person Plural - we were / we were not / Were we?

2.Person Plural - you were / you were not / Were you?

3.Person Plural - they were / they were not / Were they?

1) In der Wirklichkeitsform (Indikative):

I, he, she, it was there ( deutsch: war da)

you (singular) , we, you, they were there. (deutsch: warst/waren /wart waren da)

2) If-Sätze (subjunctive): was wird zu were (deutsch: 'wäre'): If I were you - if he were here... jedenfalls gilt das in der Schule!!! Bes. Amerikaner halten sich allerdings selten dran (die schlechten Noten jedoch bekämst du).

3) Passiv: I / he/she/it was seen|| || you / we/ you/they were seen wure... gesehen

4) kein was in if-Sätzen
If he is seen... Wenn er gesehen wird

If I /you/he/she/it/we/ you /they were seen Wenn ich... gesehen würde.
