Answer 2

A number of people were reported to missing in the train accident at Jhansi.

• To help you recall, think of was/were as the past tense version of the auxiliary verbs am, is, and are.
• In general, "was" refers to solitary items whereas "were" refers to multiple objects. So, with I, he, she, and it, you'll use "was," but with you, we, and they, you'll use "were."
• When the verb in the if-clause in the second conditional is a form of being, we use were instead of was. It should be noted that this usage of was is permissible and encouraged with all subjects.
• Was is likewise becoming more common, but many grammarians still insist on using were.
• As an example;

1. I was driving to the park.
2. You were drinking some water.
3. He was cooking.
4. They were shopping.
