Was و Were دو فعل کمکی هستند که در زمان گذشته در زبان انگلیسی استفاده میشوند. Was برای فرم یک فرد (سوم شخص مفرد) و Were برای فرم جمع و یا فرم دوم فرد (سوم شخص مفرد) استفاده میشود.
ساختار Was و Were به شکل زیر است:
- Was + فعل (ed/2nd form of verb) + Object
- Were + فعل (ed/2nd form of verb) + Object

- I was very tired yesterday. (دیروز خیلی خسته بودم.)
- They were at home all day. (آنها تمام روز در خانه بودند.)
- She was a doctor before she retired. (او پزشک بود تا قبل از بازنشستگی.)
همچنین، این فعل کمکی در سؤالی کردن در زمان گذشته نیز استفاده میشود. برای سؤالی کردن، فعل کمکی در ابتدای جمله قرار میگیرد. به عنوان مثال:
- Was she at the party last night? (آیا او شب گذشته در مهمانی بود؟)
- Were they happy with the results? (آیا آنها با نتایج راضی بودند؟)
همچنین، Was و Were برای ساخت جملات شرطی نیز استفاده میشوند. به عنوان مثال:
