--feedback--

This is singular form of the verb to be in the Simple Past, but in the negative form. Do not forget to capitalize it.

--explanation--

In negative questions with the verb to be in the Simple Past, use the structure Wasn't/Weren't + subject + complement?

This structure is often used to confirm something or to express surprise or doubt. For example:

• Wasn't she at the meeting yesterday? - You are not only asking about her being at the meeting, you are trying to confirm it because you think she was.

• Weren't they informed about the changes? - You are trying to confirm if they were informed or not.

In Lisa's question, Wasn't it stressful though?, she is asking James to confirm if the situation was stressful, possibly expecting that it might have been.
