Best Answer

You can say I was going to call you or I was sleeping

the word 'was' is basically an auxillary verb (helping verb) that is in past tense.

More examples:

I was watching television

I was playing Netball with my friends

I was talking to my friend

Notice every single time a sentence has was the next word is a verb and ends with -ing.
