Answer 1

Sentence number one is correct....
Sentence 2 should be WERE, not WHERE.

I'm guessing you're just learning english maybe??
Umm, if you are, good luck with it!! I know it's hard!!

WHERE is talking about a place, it's a noun, but don't worry about that!!.....
Ex. Where can I find you?
WERE is a verb, or can help other verbs
Ex: They were at the mall.
So, if you're talking about an action, use WERE.

Hope this helped in some way!!
Have fun!!

Answer 2

well...where and were are COMPLETELy different in meaning... try www.dictionary.com whenever u have questions about meaning of words..

WHERE means location of an object or person....

WERE is a verb, it talks of an action in past tense.

in both sentences you must use the word WERE...because they WERE LOOKING, and WERE GOING TO TEACH ---> past tense, verb usage.

where would be like, "Where are you?" (location)

good luck

Answer 3

Were you aware that nobody has a clue where you are?
