    Hi,You can't say that it.because in one sentence the verb is only one.In your words the are two verbs both of "was" and"ate".The word of ate is a past tense about the eat.Do you understand?


    Re: Can I Say by alonini, posted on 04-01-2010 at 16:25:42
    i don't understand because my teacher in my college who is from Canada said that you can say i was ate.

    so, that's why I'm so confuse

    hello,

    I do confirm what Bridg said: 'I was ate' doesn't exist at all!

    Regards

    Hi,
    I have never heard of 'I was ate' either. Are you sure that was what your teacher actually said? Perhaps you misheard him.
    Best Wishes

    Yes chris, I think so!


    Re: Can I Say by may, posted on 05-01-2010 at 12:44:00
    NO,Definitely not, " I was ate " doesn't make any sense and ungrammatical. It might be put by mistake...Would you like to ask your teacher for more detail?

    Does it mean something now?!!
