Ejercicio 1

Teoría: el verbo to be en pasado

Traducción del título: El verbo To Be en tiempo pasado: hablando sobre las emociones.

El verbo to be en pasado cambia según quién sintió la emoción (según el sujeto):

I (singular) was happy. — Yo estaba/estuve feliz.
You (singular/plural) were happy. — Tú/ustedes estaban felices.
He/She/It (singular) was happy. — Él/Ella/eso estaba feliz.
We (plural) were happy. — Nosotros estábamos felices.
They (plural) were happy. — Ellos/ellas estaban felices.

Ejemplos del libro: I was happy with my friends (se usa was porque el pronombre I es singular); We were excited, and we had a great time! (se usa were porque we es plural). El pronombre you puede ser singular o plural, pero casi siempre lleva el verbo conjugado en plural (were).

Ejercicio 1

Con I el pasado de to be es was.

After finishing the test, my friends ______ relieved. (Después de terminar el examen, mis amigos estaban aliviados.)

El sujeto es my friends, que equivale a they (plural).
Con sujetos en plural el pasado de to be es were.

Respuesta

Parte 1.c

When I saw my grade, I ______ surprised! (Cuando vi mi calificación, ¡estaba sorprendido!)

El sujeto es I, singular.
Con I se usa was.

Parte 1.d

Respuesta orientativa: Al comparar oraciones se agregan, por ejemplo: They were surprised by the school news (estaban sorprendidos por la noticia de la escuela) o I was frustrated because I forgot my homework (estaba frustrado porque olvidé mi tarea), incorporando emociones que faltaban.

Distribúyanse en comunidades para trabajar los afectos o las emociones (alegría, tristeza, miedo, sorpresa, frustración, culpa, celos, ansiedad, melancolía, vergüenza, orgullo).
Preparen fichas de información para cada emoción. Agreguen imágenes, dibujos o un relato corto que se refiera a la importancia de esa emoción.

Respuesta orientativa: Cada comunidad elige una emoción, investiga su definición y ejemplos con was/were, y elabora fichas ilustradas con un relato breve que explique para qué sirve esa emoción, por qué es importante y cómo se regula.

Grammar — The Verb To Be in the Past Tense: Talking About Emotions

Now you will go over a verb that helps us talk about how we felt in the past: the verb to be in the past tense.

Imagine you're describing a fun day you had at the park with your friends.

You say, "I was happy with my friends." (We use was because the pronoun I is singular.)
Then your friend says, "We were excited, and we had a great time!" (We use were because the pronoun we is plural.)

Consider that the pronoun you can be either singular or plural, depending on the number of people you are referring to; however, this pronoun almost always takes a verb conjugated in plural, as it happens with the verb to be.

The verb to be changes depending on who felt the emotion:

I (singular) was happy.
You (singular/plural) were happy.
He/she/it (singular) was happy.
We (plural) were happy.
They (plural) were happy.

Individually, considering what you read, complete the sentences below with the correct past tense form of to be.

a) Yesterday, during the test, I ______ nervous.
b) After finishing the test, my friends ______ relieved.
c) When I saw my grade, I ______ surprised!
d) My parents ______ proud of my hard work.

Using the verb to be in the past tense allows us to share our experiences with emotions and create a more vivid picture of how we felt in different situations.

In your notebook, write five sentences about your emotions in past situations using was or were.
Discuss the emotions you mentioned in your notebook with a community of five classmates and add a new sentence using the emotions your classmates wrote about if you have not included them already.

CREATIVITY AT WORK

With all the information you have collected for your Emotional Dictionary, do as indicated:

Distribute yourselves into communities to work on affections or emotions (joy, sadness, fear, surprise, frustration, guilt, jealousy, anxiety, melancholy, shame, pride).
Prepare information cards for each emotion. Add images, drawings, or a short story that refers to the importance of that emotion.
