Explanation
The past of the verb “to be”: I was, he/she/it was, you/we/they were. Present am/is/are → past was/were. Question: “Where were you yesterday morning?” Answer: “I was in the kitchen.” About another person: “Where was Bobur? He was in the garage.” Time words: yesterday, yesterday morning / afternoon / evening, last night. Plurals: “We were in the attic.” “They were on the stairs.” Careful: “was” is for one person or thing (and I); “were” is for you, we, they.
Worked examples
Where were you last night? I was at my grandmother’s house.
Where was your sister yesterday afternoon? She was in the garden.
Class activity
“Where were you yesterday?”: each child writes three places they were yesterday. A partner asks “Where were you yesterday morning?” A true answer scores a point.
