Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. Was
2. Were
3. Was
4. Were
5. Was
Explanation:
Whereas was is the singular past tense of to be, were is used for both the third person plural past tense (they and we) and the second person past tense (you). In the past indicative, were acts similar to was. “They were at the store,” you could say, for example.
WAS
• Can be used only with the first and third person singular (I, she, he, it)
WERE
• Can be used with the rest of the pronouns (You, we, they)
