Answer 1

Resposta:

1. Was
2. Were
3. Were
4. Was
5. Were
6. Was

Explicação:

WAS é quando o sujeito é no singular.

Ex: John was a little child.

John é um sujeito só, ou seja, uma pessoa só, e para isso usamos o WAS.

-

WERE é quando o(s) sujeito(s) é/são no plural.

Ex: They were playing football. Jenna and Charlie were at the beach.

They é um pronome em plural, o que seria um sujeito no plural, ou seja, mais pessoas. Jenna e Charlie são duas pessoas, ou seja, plural. e para isso usamos WERE.
