how to use 'was', 'were' and 'are'? confusing.
"Was" → past tense of "be" for I, he, she, it, and singular nouns:
- It was cold yesterday.
- Peter was sick last week.
"Were" → past tense of "be" for you, we, they, and plural nouns:
- We were late to the meeting yesterday.
- They were talking about buying a new car.
"Are" → present tense of "be" for you, we, they, and plural nouns:
- We are ready to go home now.
- Henry and Peter are really good friends.
- Some people are excited about the new movie.
