Use "was" when referring to singular subjects (e.g., She was late), and use "were" when referring to plural subjects or the past subjunctive mood (e.g., They were playing).

Was should be used for singular - I, she, he it etc.
Were should be used for plural - we, they etc.
*Were is also used for you - 'you were' not 'you was'.
Was and were are the past tense forms of is and are.
