What is the difference between was and where?

Answer 1

If you meant "What is the difference between was and were?", both are the past tense of to be, but the difference is that was can only be used with a first-person singular pronoun (I), a third-person singular pronoun (he, she, or it), or with any singular noun that is alone. If it's neither of these it is were.

If you meant "What is the difference between was and where?", was is the past tense of to be, and where asks the location of something, such as "Where is it?" or can be used as the start of a subordinate clause, such as "where they were".
