Was and were using two persons in a sentence?

You're asking about using "was" and "were" with two people. Here's the breakdown:

* "Was" is used for singular subjects (one person).

* "Were" is used for plural subjects (two or more people).

Examples:

* "She was" (singular subject)

* "They were" (plural subject)

To use "was" and "were" correctly in a sentence with two people, you need to consider how the people are acting together:

* If they are acting together as a single unit: Use "were"

* Example: "The twins were playing in the garden."

* If they are acting individually: Use "was" for each person.

* Example: "John was reading a book, while Mary was baking cookies."
