دوست پرعزم تھے۔ – Dost pur-azm thay. – दोस्त दृढ़ निश्चयी थे।

English: The friends were determined.

Short Explanation:

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

Structure: Subject + were + adjective/noun (e.g., I were determined).

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