WAS/WERE

The verbs was and were are the past form of the verb to be and mean to be or being.

Both have the same meaning, but can not be used in all cases since each is used for different subjects.

For example: "I" (me), "he" (him), "she" (her) and "it" (that) are combined with: was, while "they" (them), "we" (us) and "you" (or you them), are conjugated with the verb were.
