Answer 2

Answer:

A stranger was knocking at our door.

Explanation:

• 'Were' will be changed to was in the correct answer.

When do we use was and were?

• The distinction between the terms "was" and "were" is as easy as using the former when the subject is singular and the latter when the subject is plural.
• The past tense of the verb "be" is "was," which is used with first- and third-person singular subjects. So one may use "was" with I (first person singular) and He/She/It (third-person singular).
• While the word "were" can be used with the pronouns We (first-person plural), They (third-person plural), and You (second-person singular/plural). Students will find it simple to employ these terms in phrases once they have learned this.
• The examples that follow will aid students in properly understanding when and how to use "was" and "were." Let's examine the illustrations.
• I was cleaning busy yesterday (first person singular)
• They were creating a ruckus in the theatre. (third-person plural)
