قانون مشکل تھا۔ – Qanoon mushkil tha. – नियम मुश्किल था।

English: The rule was difficult.

Short Explanation:

Grammar Point: The Past Simple tense with "to be" (was) describes a past state, trait, or condition — here, "difficult".

Structure: Subject + was + adjective/noun (e.g., I was difficult).

Usage Tip: Use this pattern to describe how someone or something was in the past, unlike "am/is/are" for the present.
