[Grammar] The shop was open/opened when I went there on Sturday.

Do we use open or opened for a shop when we talk about the past.
Also tell me about whether we use close or closed in a similar situation.

The adjectives are open and closed.

Close, pronounced with a hard s like "klohss", is also an adjective. The shop is or was close means the shop is, or was, nearby.

 

[Aamir Tariq]

The adjectives are open and closed.

Close, pronounced with a hard s like "klohss", is also an adjective. The shop is or was close means the shop is, or was, nearby.

You mean when we say
The shop was closed. (It means it was shut).
The shop was close. (it was nearby).

Both are correct but they have different meanings.

 

[Barb_D]

Yes

 

[Aamir Tariq]

Yes

So we should use
The shop is open.
The shop was open.

"The shop is opened" and "The shop was opened" was grammatically incorrect.

 

[emsr2d2]

"The shop is/was opened" is not grammatically incorrect but it has a different meaning from "The shop is/was open".

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

. . . "The shop is opened" and "The shop was opened" was grammatically incorrect.

Opened is a past-tense verb. "The shop is opened" means someone opened it. It implies that either the shop does not usually open its door to the public on Saturday OR that it was a new shop and Saturday was its first day (its opening day).

You want the adjective open. It means doing business with the public.

 

[Tdol]

The shop was close that day when I went there.

This sentence doesn't make much sense in most contexts unless you are talking about a mobile shop- most shops are in the same place every day.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

In 'The shop is opened', opened is a past participle. 'The shop is opened' means that someone opens​ it.

Thanks! I needed that!

 

[Aamir Tariq]

The shop was open. (it was open for business, customers could walk in).
The shop was opened. (the passive voice of somebody opened it)

So both the sentences are grammatically correct but have different meanings. I have got it. Thanks to everyone of you for taking your time to explain. It is very nice of each and everyone of you.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Yes! You understand it perfectly!

 

[GoesStation]

...each and every one of you.

Everyone is an indefinite pronoun. It's not the same as the phrase every one.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

...each and every one of you.

Everyone is an indefinite pronoun. It's not the same as the phrase every one.

Great point. Americans often misuse the word everyone. Choose either "everyone" or "every one of you." (In your sentence, "everyone" would be better.)

 

[Aamir Tariq]

...each and every one of you.

Everyone is an indefinite pronoun. It's not the same as the phrase every one.

So how should have I written it?

It is very nice of each and everyone of you.
It is very nice of each and every one of you.
