Short Explanation:

Grammar Point: The Past Simple tense with "to be" (were) describes a past state, trait, or condition — here, "certain".

Structure: Subject + were + adjective/noun (e.g., I were certain).

Usage Tip: Use this pattern to describe how someone or something was in the past, unlike "am/is/are" for the present.
