Part 1: Complete the Sentences

The task requires filling in the blanks with either "was" or "were" to complete the sentences correctly. Here are the solutions:

1. James was nervous yesterday.
- James is singular, so use "was."

2. The bus was yellow last night.
- The bus is singular, so use "was."

3. Sun was very happy right last.
- Sun is singular, so use "was."

4. My sister and I were happy.
- "My sister and I" is plural, so use "were."

5. The house was white yesterday.
- The house is singular, so use "was."

6. My friend was very exam difficult.
- This sentence seems incomplete or incorrect. Assuming it should be something like "My friend was very tired during the exam." Use "was" since "friend" is singular.

7. Lions were the champions this morning.
- "Lions" (referring to a team) is plural, so use "were."

8. I lost my sister 5 years ago.
- This sentence doesn't require "was" or "were," but if we assume it's about being without her, use "was."

9. The movie was interesting.
- The movie is singular, so use "was."

10. It was cold yesterday.
