Answer 2

Socrates was Greek,

There weren't a lot of people in the supermarket.

Apollo wasn't born in Athens.

You were my best friend.

I was a strong baby.

There was a cat on the bed.

Запомните: Is, Is not — Was; Are, Are not — Were, Am — Was.

1. Socrates is Greek. — В данном случае настоящее время определяется смысловым глаголом is (формой глагола to be). Для того, чтобы изменить время, необходимо изменить форму смыслового глагола на was: Socrates was Greek.
2. There aren't a lot of people in the supermarket. — То же самое: смысловой глагол are (с отрицательной частицей not) является формой глагола to be для множественного числа. Меняем are на were(с частицей not): There weren't a lot of people in the supermarket.
3. Apollo isn't born in Athens. — Isn't с частицей изменяем на wasn't (причём born не трогаем, это не глагол): Apollo wasn't born in Athens.
4. You are my best friend. — are меняем на were: You were my best friend.
5. I'm a strong baby. — Форма глагола to be, выраженная am, характера только для первого лица единственного числа, то есть I. Аналогично, am изменяется на was: I was a strong baby.
6. There is a cat on the bed. — Смысловой глагол is меняем на was: There was a cat on the bed.
