Answer 1

We weren't

short form

Answer 2

The short form of the verb "to be" in the sentence "We were not" is "were not." In this case, "were" is the short form of "we are," and when you add "not" after it, it creates the negative form "were not," indicating that the action or state described in the sentence did not occur.

Here's a breakdown of the verb "to be" in its short form for different subject pronouns:

- I am = I'm - You are = You're - He/She/It is = He's/She's/It's - We are = We're - They are = They're

In your sentence, "We were not," the short form is "were not" because it's using the past tense of "to be" with the subject pronoun "we."
