Question

I _____ there when the crime happened, I only heard about it afterwards a.was b.was not c.were not d.will not

Answer 1

Hey there!

As the person just heard about it, he isn't not there at the time

So the answer is was not.

" I was not there when the crime happened, I only heard about it afterwards "

were is used for plural subjects. will not doesn't go with this sentence as it expresses about ones wishes or willingness . but the above sentence is true one not regarding willingness


The correct option is Option B.
