Are [STRIKE]they[/STRIKE] the following sentences correct and natural? [STRIKE]used properly?.[/STRIKE]
I [STRIKE]were[/STRIKE] was [1] very busy today. My [2] schedule was [STRIKE]were[/STRIKE] full, with no time [STRIKE]of planning,no any room[/STRIKE] for rest.
1: "I" is singular, so we need a singular verb.
2: People have one schedule (plan/agenda for the day), not several.
"I were" is in the subjunctive mood, which is clearly wrong for the context above. Therefore, you need to use the singular verb "was"; "were" is wrong in that sentence.1. I think you are wrong. I were...= my English teacher told me the word "I" can be used both "were" or "was".
A schedule is a list/plan/agenda/program for a certain duration (week, day, month, etc). Explain to us how you have more than one such schedule.2. I have more than one schedule, why can not add "s"?
You have an English teacher? Great! Ask him/her to explain to you when 'I were' is correct.... my English teacher told me the word "I" can be used with both "were" or "was".
