b) Com relação à frase da charge, é possível empregar o verbo To Be (in the past tense) na forma
WERE no lugar da forma WAS? Justifique sua resposta.​

Answer 1

Resposta: NÃO

Explicação: Pois weren't é apenas was conjugado no past tense (verb to be). CONCLUSÃO: Está errado.

                                         Espero ter ajudado :D

Answer 2

Were ou was

Esse é o verbo to be no passado

Conjulgando o verbo
I was
You were
He she it was
We were
They were

Logo nao daria pra trocar por were pq o verbo nao concordaria com o sujeito eu, I
