Yes/No question using was and were is used in a past tense sentence which does not contain verb. We must not be confused with yes/no question using am, is or are. The difference is only the matter of Tense. Was/were is past tense while am/is/are is present tense. Look at the examples below:
1. Was he at home last night ?
(not is he at home last night?)
2. Were you sick two days ago?
(not Are you sick two days ago?)
3. Was she a diligent student when he studied in a university?
(not Is she a diligent student when he studied in a university?)
4. Were they in your house last week?
(not Are they in your house last week?)
5. Was your mother fat last year?)
(not Are your mother fat last year?
