This is an article where the main focus is to give description for answering specific type of question in Shin Nihongo no Kiso I book. Actually, the problem available in the book. The question itself is available in Chapter 12 Section C Part 1 in page 97.  The answer is very simple to solve the problem. Just change it into a past form. Using the example pattern below to answer the question. The following is that grammar pattern along with the example :

Pattern :

Kanji : Aは

 

 

名詞

 

 

でした。
Hiragana : Aは

 

 

めいし

 

 

でした
Romaji : A wa ikura desuka
Meaning : A was noun.

 

Using the above pattern, below is an example of the sentence for answering the question :

Kanji : 去年は私が金持ちでした。
Hiragana : きょねんはわたしがかねもちでした。
Romaji : Kyonen wa watashi ga kanemochi deshita.
Meaning : Last year, I am rich.

 

The above example is an example for using the past form of a noun. There is an additional suffix in the end of the noun. That suffix is ‘-deshita’ which is indicating that it is in the past. Since there is a time line marker which is ‘last year’, the form must be in the past form. So, in order to change it into a past form, the normal suffix ‘-desu’ must be changed into the past form. The past form of suffix ‘-desu’ is ‘-deshita’. Moreover, the following is the answer sheet of the problems or questions exist in Shin Nihongo no Kiso I Chapter 12 Section B Part 1 in page 97 :
