Was and Were
Using ‘Was’ and ‘Were’
It is important to be careful when choosing the correct
form of the verb for the subject of a sentence.
Was and were are both past tenses of the verb to be. The
verb be is a tricky one because it is an irregular verb and
one that we find ourselves using with great frequency, so
it is that much more important that we choose the
correct verb for our sentences.
The verb be in past
We use Was / Were to talk about
 Origin
 Identity
 Age In the
 Location past
 Size
 Mood
How do we make sentences?
