Hello, yamilka - and welcome to English Forums. Can you be more specific? Can you supply a sentence or two that confuse you?

If a pronoun is plural, you use 'were.' (you, they, we)
If a pronoun is singular, you use 'was.' (I, he, she, it)
Since 'you' is both plural and singular, you use 'were,' even if you're talking to only one person.
