Was vs. Were Basics

In this worksheet, students practice selecting the correct past-tense verb-“was” or “were”-to complete simple sentences. Each item presents two options, and learners must determine which form agrees with the subject. The activity reinforces understanding of singular and plural subjects while helping students internalize proper verb agreement. Through this focused exercise, students strengthen their grammar fluency and improve sentence accuracy. It is ideal for early grammar learners who are mastering the correct use of the verb “to be” in past-tense forms.
