his mother said to him ," you were absent yesterday".
​

Answer 1

I was absent yesterday or I were absent yesterday. Which is correct?

I was absent yesterday is correct.

was and were are in the past tense, but they are used differently.

Was is used in the first person singular (I) and the third person singular (he, she, it).

Were is used in the second person singular and plural (you, your, yours) and first and third person plural (we, they).

Singular = I was, You were, He was, She was, It was

Plural = We were, You were, They were
