Answer 1

Hola :D

➺ Was corresponde a la primera persona del singular (I) y a la tercera persona del singular (he, she, it).

➺ Were se emplea para las demás personas (you, we, they).

∴ Los 4 significados dependen del contexto de la oración o la conversación. En este caso “was” puede significar “estuvo” o “estaba”. En este caso “were” puede significar “eran” o “fueron”.
