Is this already vs was this already

"Is this already" and "was this already" are both acceptable phrases, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. "Is this already" is used when referring to the present or a current situation, while "was this already" is used when referring to the past. They are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes.
