Final answer:

The sentences provided are questions and statements requiring the past tense of the verb 'to be' (was/were). The correct verb form depends on the subject of each sentence; singular nouns and the pronouns 'I' and 'he/she/it' take 'was', while plural nouns and the pronouns 'we', 'you', and 'they' take 'were'.

Step-by-step explanation:
