ٹرینیں قابو میں تھیں۔ – Trainein qaboo mein theen. – ट्रेनें क़ाबू में थीं।

English: The trains were under control.

Short Explanation:

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

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

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