If you want to say that 'he was' in terms of a recurring event (like he was always nice to me) then you say 'erat'.

If you want to say that 'he was' in terms of a singular event (like he was the king for a year) then you say 'fuit'.

My knowledge is largely concentrated on the late Republic and early Empire. There may be another single word in later Latin by which one can convey this idea.
