Easiest way to understand the first two is to read them out with pauses and expression.
Maybe it becomes clearer if I put it like this:
What was the verb "is" before it was "is"? It was "was".
or the more logical, and possibly more confusing one:
What was the verb "was" before it was "was"? It was "is".
The one about the town called "Upwey" is less of a problem.
Way, way up Upwey way.
:D
