I was doing sport vs I were doing sport

The correct phrase is 'I was doing sport.' The verb 'was' is the correct past tense form of 'to be' when used with the pronoun 'I.' 'I were doing sport' is incorrect because 'were' is the past tense form of 'to be' used with 'you,' 'we,' 'they,' and plural nouns.
