que no siempre comparte toda la familia. Para hablar
de aficiones en ingls se utiliza el gerundio del verbo
correspondiente, por ejemplo, Ilike reading (HA mi
me gusta leer") o We lave watching televisian ("Nos
encanta mirar la televisin").

4.2 Iwas/ youwere

Conjugar el pasado simple del verbo to be ("ser /
estar") es muy sencillo, basta saber que a la primera
y la tercera persona del singular (/, he, she, it) les corresponde "was", y al resto (you, we, they) "were".
Otra particularidad de este verbo es que, a diferencia
de los otros, no necesita del auxiliar to do para las
formas interrogativa y negativa.
