Is the word 'was' active or passive?

WomanSkirtFan8 · 2016-09-15 17:07:45

Am having a bit of difficulty in trying to figure out whether or not the word "was" is active or passive? Am a bit confused in this regard and would like to clear this up. Thanks :confused:

Words are not active or passive. Sentences are. What's your sentence?
