What's the simple past of "be"?Yesterday I (_____) sick, so I didn't go to school. Yesterday you (_____) at school because we had a test.
Correct Answer
was
were
was/were
was wereExplanation
The simple past of "be" is "was" when referring to the first person singular (I) and the third person singular (he/she/it). It is "were" when referring to the second person singular (you) and all plural subjects (we/they). However, in some cases, "was" and "were" can be used interchangeably, which is why "was/were" is also correct. The last option, "was were," is incorrect as it combines both "was" and "were" in the same sentence, which is grammatically incorrect.Rate this question:
