Forme affirmative

To be au preterit
Δ A LA FORME NEGATIVE,
WASN’T EST LA CONTRACTION DE WAS NOT.
WEREN’T CELLE DE WERE NOT.
to be est le seul verbe à fonctionner ainsi.
C’est un semi auxiliaire et il se suffit à lui-même.
Il n’a donc pas besoin d’un auxiliaire .
A la forme interrogative , il s’inverse donc avec
le sujet et il reçoit la négation NOT à la forme
négative.
Pour tous les autres verbes c’est le même
fonctionnement : aux formes interrogative et
négative , l’auxiliare DID apparaît.
