Answer 3

Antonym means a word opposite in meaning. A synonym is a word that means the same. There aren't synonyms for "was." I think that is what you mean. You just need to edit your paper and either remove it in places and re-write sentences if you think it is being overused.

Answer 4

You need the antonym (opposite) of was?

Perhaps you are thinking of a synonym for was. Sorry, there aren't many. If your teacher wants you to limit the number of verbs of being ( was/is etc.) she is probably looking for more vivid verbs. Try rewriting the sentence to include an action or an example.
Instead of " She was scared." Try,
" She shivered with fright." " Her eyes grew wide with terror."
" The puppy desperately burrowed under the pillow."

Answer 5

used to, had been, or just use the verb following "was" in a past tense, like instead of, "I was walking", say, "As I walked" or "I walked". That makes the verb active instead of passive. Better writing...
