Correcting mistakes in sentences:
- 1. He was at the party.
- 2. Were they happy?
- 3. She wasn't at school.
- 4. Was he late?
- 5. It was a nice day.
Explanation: This exercise focuses on the correct usage of the verb 'to be' (was/were) in the past simple tense. The choice between 'was' and 'were' depends on the subject of the sentence: 'was' is used with singular subjects (I, he, she, it), and 'were' is used with plural subjects (we, you, they) and also with 'you' when it's singular.
