thanks in advance Simplest explanation is: "were" = past tense (all persons except 'I'); "are" = present tense (you, we, they).

We're = contraction for we are: We're glad to help. (Pronouns have apostrophes only when two words are being shortened into one.)
Where = location: Where are you going? (This is a place word, and so it contains the word here.)
Were = a past tense form of the verb be: They were walkin
