Many different ways I should say, depending where you come from: various parts of the USA, of the UK, Ireland, Australia, etc. Apr 04 06, 4:44 PM

Were is subject to local colloquialismic (not actually a word) pronunciation but as far as different pronunciations grammatically. NO. Unless you add an ' and create the contraction of we are (we're). were (wûr) v. 1. Second person singular and plural and first and third person plural past indicative of be. 2. Past subjunctive of be. See Usage Note at if. See Usage Note at wish. --------------------- we're (wîr) Contraction of we are. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=were http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=were Apr 04 06, 5:09 PM

And of course there is we're (we are) which is pronounced differently to were but often spelt the same (schools don't seem to teach apostrophes any more). Apr 05 06, 11:16 AM
