Can anybody please give me an example of when to use these?
Countless teachers have tried to explain it but it just never sinks in.
Where – to, at or in what place.
Wear – to have clothing, glasses, etc. on your body.
Were – (verb) - past tense of be.
So i'd assume the sentence would be...
Where were you?
Your text next to each word defines them perfectly tbh. But here is my stab at it :
Where is in reference to a physical place. Such as "Goodison is where Everton play". It can refer to past, future and present tense with no changes to wording.
Future:"I will meet you where the footballs are stored".
Present:"I can see where you are pointing".
Past:"He didn't know where he was heading to".
Wear is in reference to physically putting something on your person(in the most common usage anyway and to keep it simple!) in the future tense. "I want to wear some gloves".
To use it in present tense it becomes Wearing. "I am wearing blue gloves". For past tense it becomes wore for a singular instance. "I once wore blue gloves", or to refer to many instances it becomes wearing "I used to like wearing blue gloves".
Were is a contextual word used in the past tense to describe an event that has happened(and I can only think of 3rd person perspective when using it!). "The children were playing over there". "It is ok that they were there".
I hope I've not buggered up that lot, but it provided a nice bit of typing whilst eating my lunch! I'm sure someone will correct any errors
