Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

講義は長くなかった/長くありませんでした。
Kōgi wa nagaku nakatta/ nagaku arimasen deshita.
The lecture was not long

あの人は正直ではなかった/正直ではありませんでした。
Ano hito wa shōjiki de wa nakatta/ shōjiki de wa arimasen deshita.
He wasn't honest

With the negative past tense in Japanese, the nai of the negative formof the i-adjective is changed to nakatta (desu is allowed in the case of politeness), or arimasen is changed to arimasen deshita. With na-adjectives, the negative copula de wa nai is changed to de wa nakatta, while de wa arimasen is changed to de wa arimasen deshita.


Examples:
自身は大きくなかった(です)。
Jishin wa ōkiku nakatta (desu).
The earthquake was not big.

試験はやさしくありませんでした。
Shiken wa yasashiku arimasen deshita.
The exam wasn't easy.

彼女​​のドレスは派手じゃなかった。
Kanojo no doresu wa hade ja nakatta.

彼らの生活はぜいたくではありませんでした。
Kare-ra no seikatsu wa zeitaku de wa arimasen deshita.

Hope, that helps, and see you again soon!
