Polite forms:
To express that something was a certain way using an い-adjective, you conjugate it into its past form by dropping the final い and adding かった.
Affirmative past: Remove い and add かった
Negative past: Remove い and add くなかった
For polite speech, simply add です after the conjugated form:
The adjective いい (good) is irregular. Its past form is based on the original form よい:
The past tense of い-adjectives works just like the non-past form – it can describe nouns directly or serve as the predicate of a sentence. Remember that です here is purely for politeness and does not change the tense; the tense is already marked by かった or くなかった.
