The verb “to be” is irregular in the Simple Past. Unlike other irregular verbs, there are two Simple Past forms: “was” and “were.” It also has different question forms and negative forms.
Attention! Always remember that you DO NOT use “did” with the verb “be” in the Simple Past.
You can download the was/were explanation that we saw* at class here.
