چاول مضبوط تھا۔ – Chawal mazboot tha. – चावल मज़बूत था।

English: The rice was strong.

Short Explanation:

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

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

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