There was / There were son las formas de pasado de there is /there
are. En este caso se traducen por “había, hubo”. Como vemos en inglés hay
dos formas: una para singular, y otra para plural. Recuerda que en español
sólo se usa el verbo haber en singular.
- There was se usa para expresar que había una cosa, persona, animal, ya
sea un sustantivo contable o incontable.
There was a pencil under the desk. There was some milk in the fridge.
- There were en cambio se usa para hablar de que había dos o más cosas,
personas, etc. En esta caso sólo podremos utilizar sustantivos contables.

class.

Para construir la forma negativa añadimos not que junto a
was/were se contrae en wasn’t / weren’t.
There weren’t any classes last week. There wasn’t any food.
Las preguntas empiezan con was / were, es decir, se invierte el
orden. Los wh-items irán siempre al principio de la pregunta. Las
respuestas cortas vuelven al orden normal y si son negativas
usaremos las formas contraídas.

Were there any books in the bag?

WORD ORDER: Adjectives
El orden de las palabras no es igual en inglés que en castellano, ya que en inglés los adjetivos
se suelen colocar delante de los sustantivos. Aunque también van detrás del verbo to be.
