The simple past of “be” has two forms: was and were.
Elicit from students: Which one is singular and which one is plural? (Was is singular and were is plural.)
But sometimes English doesn’t always follow the rules. The pronoun you can be singular or plural, but we use were for both singular you and plural you.

Yes, it was.
No, it wasn’t.

The short answers to yes/no questions are:
Yes, + subject + was/were.
