0Hello,02br 02br 00Simple past sentences do not have to include 'was', so I'm not sure where you got this rule from. Some might, for example 'she was tried in the crown court' but here she wasn't the one 'trying' she was being tried (judged), which is why it is included. She tried in the crown court is also correct, with the meaning that she was the person trying to do something.
