Was or Were for this sentence? It was my graduation day, but apparently meeting Judy and teaching her algebra WERE so important that they had completely forgot about it. or should the 'were' be 'was'? It was our graduation day, but apparently meeting Judy and teaching her algebra WAS so important that they had completely forgot about it. Should I use was or were?

"were". There are two distinct subjects "meeting Judy" and "teaching her algebra". "had forgotten" Check you mean "they" and not "he" or "she".
