Explanation:
Past Continuous Tense: Used to describe actions that were in progress at some point in the past.
"Was/Were" + Verb(-ing):
- Use "was" with singular subjects (I, he, she, it).
- Use "were" with plural subjects (you, we, they).
When forming questions, invert the subject and the correct form of "to be" (was/were).
For affirmative short answers, use "Yes, [subject] was/were."
For negative short answers, use "No, [subject] wasn't/weren't."
