Wann benutzt man im englischen was/are und were bei Dingen/Sachen?
Z.b bei Passiv Voice
-
We stopped the bus = The bus was stopped
-
A thief stole my car = My car was stolen by a thief
-
They wear blue shoes = Blue shoes are worn by them
Mein Problem ist jetzt ich weiß nie ob ich was/are oder were einsetzen soll bei Dingen wie Auto, Badezimmer, Haus, Stadt etc. Mal denk ich das es (were) ist mal (was) mal (are) aber ich darf nicht denken sondern muss es wissen!
Gibt es da eine Regel oder ähnliches ? Was muss ich einfach beachten? Wie kann ich es mir am besten merken?

Du musst nur die drei Wörter unterscheiden: Are ist Plural (Mehrzahl) und beschreibst die Gegenwart: "Blue shoes are worn by them" (JETZT GERADE werden blaue Schuhe von ihnen getragen).
"Was" ist Vergangenheit und Singular (Einzahl). "My car was stolen by a thief" (Das Auto wurde in der Vergangenheit gestohlen, gestern, vorgestern, vor einer Stunde, irgendwann, und zwar nur das EINE AUTO, nicht mehrere).
Were ist wieder Vergangenheit, aber Plural (Mehrzahl): "We were raised on the countryside" (Wir wurden auf dem Land großgezogen): Wir wurden in der VERGANGENHEIT großgezogen, und zwar viele zusammen. Also nicht nur ich, sondern, viele Leute.
Auf Deutsch: "Are" ist gleich "sind, seid"
"was" ist gleich "war" und
"were" ist gleich "waren".
AUFGEPASST: Jetzt gibt es nur noch eine Kleinigkeit zu merken: "Are" beschreibt auch die zweite Person Singular im Präsens (also "du bist"). "Are" bedeutet also auch "bist".
Ein Beispiel: "You are hit by a truck" ("Du wirst von einem LKW angefahren"). Es passiert jetzt, heute, in diesem Moment. Und es passiert dir. Nicht mir, nicht ihm oder ihr. Sondern dir.
Genau das Gleiche gilt für "were" in der Vergangenheit: "You were hit by a truck" (du wurdest von einem LKW angefahren"). Es passierte gestern, vorgestern, vor einer Stunde, irgendwann. Und es passierte DIR. Nicht mir oder ihm oder ihr. Nur dir.
Also nochmal:
"are": Du, wir, ihr, sie (Mehrzahl), Gegenwart.
"was": Ich, er, sie, es, Vergangenheit.
"were": Du, wir, ihr, sie (Mehrzahl), Vergangenheit.
Are = Plural Präsens Was =Singular Plusquamoerfekt Were = Plural Pqp
