Answer 1

HELLO DEAR,

GIVEN:- Fill in the blank:

Rani is a lecturer in this college. She ______ a student in the same college.*

1️⃣ is

2️⃣ were

3️⃣ was

4️⃣ had

ANSWER:- Rani is a lecturer in this college. She _was_ a student in the same college.

'She was a student in the same college.'

It is past tense, here we use 'was' because 'was' is used for singular object and 'were ' is used for plural objects. So, you will use 'was' with l, he, she and it while you will use ' were ' with we, you and they.

THANKS.

Answer 2

Rani is a lecturer in this college. She was a student in the same college.

• Both the helping verbs was/were are the past tense of the verb "to be".

• We use was/were when we talk about something that we did in the past.

• The helping verb " was" is used with singular objects whereas the helping verb "were" is used with plural objects.

• "was" is used with the first person singular (I) and third-person singular (He, she, it)

• "were" is used with first-person plural (we) and with second-person (you) and with third-person plural (they)
