PAST SIMPLE: there was / there were

El verbo “there was” y “there were” es la forma en pasado de “there is” y “there are”, que se construye con there + el verbo to be.

There is y there are se utilizan para decir que hay algo en presente (there is a cake in the fridge – hay una tarta en la nevera), por lo tanto, la forma en pasado de este verbo significa había (there was a cake in the fridge – había una tarta en la nevera).
