How Do You Spell WERE CANDIDATE?
Pronunciation: [wɜː kˈandɪdˌe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of "were candidate" is actually "weren't candidate." "Weren't" is a contraction of "were not," and this is the standard form in English. The IPA transcription is /wərnt ˈkændɪdət/, with the schwa sound for the unstressed syllable of "weren't." It is important to use correct spelling and pronunciation to effectively communicate and avoid misunderstandings in written and spoken English.
