The correct spelling for the phrase "wast patient with" is actually "was patient with." The word "was" is the past tense of the verb "be." The pronunciation of the word "was" is /wʌz/ (wuhz) with a short "u" sound and a voiced "z" sound at the end. "Patient" is pronounced /ˈpeɪʃənt/ (PAY-shuhnt) with stress on the first syllable and a voiceless "sh" sound. So, the correct way to write this phrase is "He was patient with the situation."
