What else can I help you with?
When do you use was vs were in a sentence?
Use "was" when referring to a singular subject, and use "were" when referring to plural subjects or the second person singular (you). For example: "He was happy" (singular subject) vs. "They were happy" (plural subject) or "If I were you, I would go" (second person singular).
Is using were correct when the subject is singular?
Only in the singular second-person (you were). A singular subject in the first and third persons uses "was."
When to use was vs were in an insubordinate clause?

Where you can use the have and where you can use the has?
Has is the third-person singular form of have. If the subject is singular, use has. If it is plural, use have. For example, The boy has some candy. The boys have some candy. The boy has gone home. The boys have gone home. Have is also the imperative form. For example, Have some candy! If the subject is the first-person personal pronoun "I" or the second-person personal pronoun "you" then use "have" instead of "has." I have some candy You have some candy. We have some candy. They have some candy. He has some candy. She has some candy. It has some candy. (This is because he/she/it are third person singular.)
