Explicação:

plural (they, we, mary and johnny) usamos were para passado e are para o presente.

ex: they were watchING a movie

tradução: eles estavam assistindo um filme

normalmente, quando no português o verbo está em gerúndio (ndo) usamos o ing.

verbo to be + verbo= verbo com ing

singular (i, he, she, it) usamos was para passado e is para presente

ex: i was sleeping while you were studying

tradução: eu estava dormindo enquanto você estava estudando.
