I was drove the car yesterday vs I drove the car yesterday

The correct choice is "I drove the car yesterday." The word "drove" is the past simple form of the verb "drive," which is the appropriate form to use in this case. The sentence "I was drove the car yesterday" is incorrect because "was drove" is not a valid English construction.
