Las reglas son las siguientes:
I, he, she, it – was
You, we, they – were
Para la primera y tercera persona del singular se usa la palabra “was”; para el resto se utiliza “were”.
Por ejemplo:
“She was a student”. Ella era estudiante.
“They were doctors”. Ellos eran doctores.
Para hacer una pregunta hay que colocar “was/were” al principio de la oración:
“Was she a student?”. ¿Ella era estudiante?
“Were they doctors?”. ¿Ellos eran doctores?
En las oraciones negativas hay que añadir el adverbio “not” y ponerlo después de la palabra “was/were”.
Recuerda que la mayoría de las veces se usa la contracción (forma abreviada) en las oraciones negativas: “wasn’t = was not” “weren’t = were not”.
“He wasn’t at the cinema with us”. Él no estaba en el cine con nosotros.
“ We weren’t at home on Sunday”. Nosotros no estábamos en casa el domingo.
“I wasn’t hungry”. No tenía hambre.
Ahora te invito a que veas este vídeo de la cantante americana de pop Beyoncé y escribas todas las frases que escuches con “was/were”.

Fíjate:
“I Was Here”
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I’ll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember so that they won’t forget
I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I’ve done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody’s life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see
I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I’ve done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I’ve done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because
I was here
I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I’ve done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved
I was here
I did (I did), I’ve done
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)
I was here (oh)
I did, I’ve done
I was here
