Wear - Where - Were

Wear - Where - Were

Wear: is what you do with clothes. It is also to do with things that age, general wear and tear. E.g. I would love to wear that outfit. I’m going to wear that uniform. It will wear out if you use it too much.

Where: is to do with finding a place, object, or direction. E.g. I don’t know where I am. Where is the swimming pool? I can’t think where I put my car keys.

Were: is the past tense for ‘are’. If you are at the shops, and then you go home, you would say you were at the shops. Were often gets confused with where. Here are a few examples of when to use were correctly: Today we are going to the beach, but yesterday we were at school. At the moment they are four eggs in the egg box, but yesterday there were six.
