Answer 1

There were ten boys playing football.

What was there in your room? There were many things. ​

Answer 2

There was ten boys playing football.

The correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is "were" instead of "was." Since there are multiple boys (more than one), the plural form of the verb "to be" should be used. Therefore, the correct sentence is:

There were ten boys playing football.
