The correct choice is 'was' because it is the past tense of 'to be' used with the singular subject 'I'. 'Were' is used with plural subjects or 'you'. The sentence refers to a past event, hence 'was' is appropriate.

3. They (was/were) happy during the trip. Pilih yang benar.

4. What (was/were) you doing last weekend?

The correct choice is 'were' because it agrees with the plural subject 'we'. 'Was' is singular, while 'is' and 'am' are present tense, and 'wasn't' is negative. Therefore, 'We were at the beach last summer' is correct.

7. Write the past tense of 'play'.
