Don't know what an insubordinate clause is, but I do know that "was" is singular, and "were" is plural. 2nd person (you) is an exception, you use "were" in both singular and plural:

You were (singular, one person)

You were (plural, all of you)

Otherwise, like I said, you just use "was" in 1st person and 3rd person singular, and "were" in 1st and 3rd plural:

I was (1st person singular)

He/she/it was (3rd person singular)

We were (1st person plural)

They were (3rd person plural)

Use "was" when the subject is singular, and use "were" when the subject is plural in an independent clause. For example, "She was happy" (singular subject) and "They were ecstatic" (plural subject).
