grammaticality - "Were that you who did that" vs. "was that you who did that"




Which of the following is correct?





  • Were that you who did that?

  • Was that you who did that?





Obviously one has to use were with you, but which one goes here in this case?


Answer



The subject of the main clause is that, singular. It follows that the verb has to be was, also singular.
