As a child, I was very shy. I did not like to play with other children and I was always alone. My parents were worried about me, but I think I was happy that way, with my pictures and my imagination. I was always making up stories and drawing them. Maybe that was why I became an illustrator later. I was not interested in school at all, but I managed to get good marks, and all my teachers were very impressed and said I was exceptionally smart. I don’t know if they were right, but I did very well in high school and university later on.

 

En conclusión, el verbo «to be» es un elemento esencial en inglés, ya que se utiliza para construir muchas frases y expresiones. Dominar adecuadamente su conjugación en todos sus tiempos verbales, incluyendo «was» y «were», es fundamental. ¡Y recuerda, siempre pasarlo bien mientras aprendes inglés!
