How to use "wasn" in a sentence

He wasn't there.

At least drinking it wasn't as bad as I expected.

But it wasn't the sea

She wasn't in the long room anymore, and there was no table or water

'It wasn't a pretty baby, but it's quite a pretty pig,' thought Alice.

'Then why did you say, "Have some wine"? It wasn't very polite of you,' Alice said angrily.

That wasn't very polite of you,' said the March Hare.

'No, it wasn't

The White Rabbit wasn't there

But the King wasn't interested now.

She was very large now and she wasn't afraid of anybody.

He wasn't very tall, but he was very strong

She wasn't angry about the cinema, and she asked me to have a drink with her!

Coach Bryant wasn't very happy

I wasn't clever enough at the lessons, and there was nothing that anybody could do about it

But it wasn't Friday night, and Jenny's band wasn't playing

But his foot wasn't too bad for the army to get him - and here he was.

I looked round for Bubba, but he wasn't there

I phoned the number, and she wasn't.

Jenny wasn't happy about the wrestling but I won a lot of money - sometimes by winning fights, sometimes by losing them because Mike told me to lose them

But I missed the bus that evening, and there wasn't another one until the next day

I wasn't an actor for very long

Why wasn't I ready for that news? I don't know, but I wasn't

"But it wasn't," a voice replies, and Brandon turns and sees the dark coat, only this time there is no black hat: just long, red hair

You know what I mean when I say a nobody? I mean Jimmy wasn't rich, and he wasn't too bright, you know? Not very clever, really

And he wasn't a funny guy, and he didn't have much luck with the ladies

All at once, she was sure that something wasn't right.

Had he been odd with her? She wasn't sure

"I wasn't! You don't understand -"

It wasn't far to Cham's apartment block, but another storm had gathered

He wasn't taking Gran's suggestion seriously

it was you in there, wasn't it? Your voice sounded a bit different, but apart from that..."

There was a big conversation coming, and she wasn't looking forward to it.

They'd never had to make a big decision like this before, and she wished with all her heart that he wasn't making her choose

Should she mention the wild rose fruit again? She wasn't sure

It wasn't really fair to give you such a tough decision to make, but I knew you'd be strong enough."

Sorry just wasn't enough.

But Sala wasn't going to let her disappear this time

It wasn't fair.

Surely, this wasn't really going to happen? But there was nothing she could do

Was this a trap? Where were they going? But the woman didn't look back; she wasn't going to wait

But none of Cham's grandparents were alive, so maybe it wasn't surprising that he found it hard to believe in another world.

To her surprise, Gran wasn't in the kitchen preparing their meal as usual

Of course, Sala realized: this wasn't Cham

It wasn't enough

What use was it, seeing an avatar? It wasn't even completely like him

It wasn't just his avatar

It wasn't like Gran to make her feel uncomfortable.

She was about to knock, when she saw that this one wasn't closed either

He said it so lightly that Sala wasn't sure she'd heard right

"But there was another letter, wasn't there?"

"It was good to talk to Cham just now, wasn't it?" said Dani.

There was one last Ultranet Talk Hour with Cham before the end of the month, but Sala decided it wasn't even worth trying to talk to him about leaving

She wasn't even sure if his family would give them time alone together - but she'd have to make sure it happened

What was it? She wasn't sure

But it wasn't a man

It wasn't a woman

'I was angry with you last night, wasn't I?' he said.

'I wish an inquest wasn't necessary,' Colonel Julyan said, 'but I'm afraid it is

You and I know it wasn't suicide, don't we?'

'If he wasn't a friend, perhaps it was someone she was afraid of.'

That was possible, wasn't it? She had seen similar stories in the movies

But then, inevitably, her fantasy burst, for he wasn't Danny.

But she wasn't going to allow such a thing to happen to her

She wasn't a dancer anymore; now she worked behind the curtain, in the production end of the show, but she still felt physically and psychologically best when she weighed no more than she had weighed when she'd been a performer.

This wasn't the first night she'd been wrongly convinced that an intruder was prowling the house

She wasn't sleepy now, but she knew she had to get more rest

Gazing at the dead boy's toys and pathetic treasures, Tina realized, not for the first time, that it wasn't healthy for her to maintain this place as if it were a museum

Although she wasn't much of a drinker, indulging in nothing more than a glass of wine now and then, with no capacity whatsoever for hard liquor, she finished the bourbon in two swallows

Working with that kind of money wasn't merely a step up for her; it was a giant leap.

She wasn't going crazy

She wasn't the sort of person who would snap over a thing like this

She was certain to be quite late, but she wasn't going to worry about waking him.

Time for Elliot Stryker? She wasn't sure

Surely, that wasn't the smart thing to do

But Tina Evans was sympathetic; she knew how important the slot machines were to Vivienne, and she wasn't upset if Vivienne occasionally had to reschedule her visit.

But the fact that two were missing wasn't what drew Vivienne's attention

She wasn't able to identify the source of the sound

She didn't bother picking up the knife, because she was sure the problem wasn't an intruder

But she wasn't completely in control of herself; she felt a bit like a sleepwalker

Although Magyck! Excited the imagination and commanded the eye, Elliot wasn't able to give his undivided attention to it

Neither window was open, and even if one had been raised, the night wasn't frigid enough to account for the chill.

But there wasn't a monster in the closet

But she wasn't able to imagine what it could be.

Vivienne had no logical explanation for what had happened, but she knew one thing for sure: She wasn't going to tell anyone what she had seen here tonight

Vivienne wasn't going to jeopardize her precious independence.

This crowd wasn't able to sit on its hands and keep its cool.

She wasn't sure she would be able to get any more sleep, but she had to try

It wasn't even five o'clock

She phoned Michael, but he wasn't home

Vivienne Neddler had been in to clean last evening, but this wasn't the kind of thing that Vivienne would be capable of doing

She wasn't prepared for this pleasantness, nonplussed by the warmth of his greeting.

He was trying so hard to be nice, which wasn't like Michael at all

At least it wasn't like the Michael Evans she had known for the past couple of years

Tina wasn't sure how to begin

There was something peculiar in his eyes, a speculative look, but it wasn't guile

But merely drifting along in the currents of life wasn't enough for Tina

But he was so involved with his fantasy that he wasn't aware that she had no desire to be a part of it

Jesus, I was babbling like an idiot, wasn't I? I didn't let you do it your way

I can't believe you said that! It wasn't a fling

And before you give me any more of that treacly talk about your great love of family, let me remind you that it wasn't me who tore our family apart

It wasn't me who jumped from bed to bed."

At first, she wasn't sure what she was crying about

It wasn't fair

"Maybe the past wasn't so great, but the future seems pretty damn good."

She wasn't capable of anything as vicious as this

Angela wasn't a master burglar, for God's sake.

Then she realized it wasn't only fear that made her quiver

How could the temperature have dropped so far in such a short time? She listened for the sound of the air conditioner, but the telltale whisper wasn't issuing from the wall vents

She had the crazy feeling that she wasn't alone

It wasn't Danny tapping out those words

Still puzzled but beginning to get impatient with her, Elliot said, "My business wasn't on the third floor

She wasn't actually asking the question of him; if she was asking anyone, she was asking God.

He wasn't foolhardy

"I wasn't thanking you for the drink

But it wasn't any recollection of your son that had you so upset when I walked in a little while ago."

She felt more relaxed than she'd been ten minutes ago, but she wasn't even slightly tipsy

The mother wasn't even able to attend the service

"But don't forget," Elliot said, "her daughter's body wasn't mutilated."

Really, though, it wasn't like what you see in the movies

Elliot wasn't pushing her

For that matter, she wasn't pushing him, either

With her, sex was a delightful bonus, a lagniappe, but it wasn't the main reason he wanted her beside him

He wasn't asking the judge for much of a favor

But she knew it wasn't true.

The garage was slightly musty, but Tina wasn't able to detect the odor of gas.

Evidently, he wasn't carrying a gun, and he was impressed by the speed and ease with which his partner had been taken out of action.

"He wanted to check my furnace, make sure there wasn't any gas escaping."

At the fifth house on the left, the garage door was open, and there wasn't a car inside.

And there wasn't a shirt made that could be buttoned easily around his thick, muscular neck

A man of his size probably wasn't frightened any more easily than Godzilla confronted by the pathetic bazooka-wielding soldiers surrounding doomed Tokyo.

"Huh? I wasn't expecting nobody."

He wasn't accustomed to this tension

"The only thing new about me is that I wasn't scared stiff this morning, and now I am."

He risked a quick look, shifting his attention from the road, but there wasn't enough light in the car for him to see what she held

"Just jumpy," he said, but he wasn't really convinced that their imagination was to blame.

If the body were exhumed and reexamined by a top-notch pathologist, we'd almost certainly find proof that the cause of death wasn't what the authorities originally said it was."

She wasn't exactly sure

At the same time, she knew this wasn't a rational thought; the explanation, whatever it might be, was not that simple

Tina wasn't able to cover her ears; her arms hung straight down at her sides, frozen, rigid, hands fisted, and she couldn't find the will or the strength to lift them

"Listen," she said excitedly, "we thought someone was sending me messages about Danny being alive just to rub my face in the fact that he was actually dead - or to let me know, in a roundabout fashion, that the way he died wasn't anything like what I'd been told

Maybe there was an accident, but it wasn't like anything we were told

It wasn't just an inner feeling of peace

It wasn't one of them

He certainly wasn't old enough to remember all the cards that were dealt and calculate his chances from that, like some of the very best players can do

But Michael swore he wasn't doing that

One day, about two years ago, I was in the kitchen, making an apple pie, and Danny came in to tell me Elmer wasn't anywhere to be found in the yard

Danny said he was sure Elmer wasn't going to come back because he'd been hit and killed by a truck

"It wasn't a coincidence

The guard tried to find a pulse but wasn't able to do so

As he gazed at the model, he wasn't transported back in time or lost in fantasies of high-seas adventure; rather, he was mulling over the recent developments in the Evans case

When he smiled, his mouth turned up slightly at the left corner, giving him a vaguely haughty expression, although at the moment he wasn't smiling.

"If it wasn't me, it would have been some other attorney

Currently the system wasn't working, for three-quarters of the window was filmed with frost.

Although he was struggling to cast off the seizure of claustrophobia that had gripped him, was trying to pretend that the organic-looking ceiling wasn't pressing low over his head and that only open sky hung above him instead of thousands of tons of concrete and steel rock, his own panic attack concerned him less than what was happening beyond the viewport.

"When this started a month ago, it wasn't that bad

There wasn't much of a chance that a trap had been set for them so soon

It wasn't the gauzy, insubstantial stirring of windblown flakes, but an unnatural and purposeful rising of an entire mound of white

This wasn't the same

They figured there wasn't anywhere else we could go but Bellicosti's funeral home."

In fact, maybe the thrill wasn't so deep down

It wasn't a pretty job, but it also wasn't without a measure of real dignity and heroism

Taking in her broad smile, he said, "Obviously, it wasn't the nightmare."

She recounted the dream in detail, and Elliot admitted that her interpretation wasn't strained.

Tina said, "Elliot, it wasn't only what happened in the dream that led me to this conclusion

This wasn't insurance against the unforeseen; this was simply prudent planning for the trouble they could foresee all too well.

How long could Danny continue to pave the way? The boy appeared to have some incredible powers, but he wasn't God

The hole in the guy's shoulder was reassuringly clean, and it wasn't bleeding much.

I wasn't hit that hard

But the guy wasn't going to stop until he had instructed the computer to trigger the alarms.

It wasn't much of a smile; it quivered on his lips as if sustaining it required more energy than lifting a hundred-pound weight

He wasn't scheduled for R and R, and on the spur of the moment he couldn't think of an excuse to sign out one of the Range Rovers, so he tried to escape on foot

Anyway, Bollinger wasn't interested in exercise

That wasn't good enough for Bollinger, and he got hysterical

She held Danny close, and she stared into his dark eyes, and she wasn't able to comfort herself with those words from the Bible

I was so young and naive, I assumed "network-approved writers" meant that each of these writers would be among the finest in the TV business, on the planet, in the universe, the elite of the elite, the crS232; me de la crS232; me, superexcellent wordsmiths incapable of spinning any story that wasn't the top, the ower of Pisa, the Mona Lisa, the Louvre Museum, the Colosseum! Network-approved writers! I was in the lap of God, in the hands of ministering angels, and there could be no doubt whatsoever that we would have a hit with Help, My Feet Are Stuck to the Floor in Dean Koontz's Theater or whatever it would be called.

But I suppose Colonel Protheroe wasn't there yet, because she came back almost immediately, and walked down to the studio.'

'She wasn't carrying a handbag.'

'I wasn't thinking about the time on the letter

'No it wasn't

'But it wasn't Mr Redding who made the call

The inspector had told me she wasn't sure of the time when he questioned her, but she was sure now.

That wasn't Stone.'

'Of course, when the expert saw the silver, he would know it wasn't the real thing, and then Colonel Protheroe would remember that he had shown the things to Dr Stone...'

It wasn't the answer he had expected

That wasn't true

She wasn't

And it wasn't an ordinary sneeze.'

'But she wasn't here when I sent Mary for you

If it wasn't for that note...'

The poor fellow wasn't responsible for his actions

Although perhaps I wish that he wasn't.'

We discovered later that this wasn't true.

It looked simple, but it wasn't

I wasn't comfortable in the boat

When I finally pulled the shirt out of the river, I saw that it wasn't mine - it was George's shirt! I started laughing too

'She wasn't happy.'

She had no money of her own and had to rely on her brother's generosity, but he wasn't generous

'I hope that you and the Count will understand that Laura wasn't herself when she spoke those words

No one suspected that he wasn't the legitimate heir

Perhaps he wasn't always so fat
