prep.|ain't;不是（等于was not）
"wasn't"是英语中常见的缩略形式，由"was not"通过省略字母组合而成。该词主要用于否定语境中，表示过去时间中某事物或状态的不存在或未发生，属于标准英语语法中的否定结构。
在语法功能上，"wasn't"作为系动词"was"的否定形式，适用于第一人称单数（I）和第三人称单数（he/she/it）的主语。例如："She wasn't at the meeting yesterday"（她昨天没参加会议）。根据剑桥词典的释义，这类缩略形式在口语和非正式书面语中使用频率较高，但在正式写作中建议使用完整形式"was not"。
发音方面，"wasn't"的国际音标标注为/ˈwʌzənt/，其中"-sn't"的辅音连缀发音需要注意舌尖抵住上齿龈的爆破过程。牛津英语词典指出，这类缩略词的发音保留了原始词"was"的核心元音，同时通过鼻腔爆破完成"n't"的发音。
在语义层面，该词既可用于表达客观事实的否定（如"The answer wasn't correct"），也可用于委婉拒绝或表达主观判断（如"I wasn't aware of the change"）。柯林斯高级英语词典特别强调，当与进行时态结合时，该词能构建动态否定语境，例如："He wasn't working when I called"。
需要注意的常见错误包括：误将"wasn't"用于复数主语（正确应为"weren't"），以及在倒装疑问句中错误拆分（正确形式为"Wasn't she...?"）。根据朗文当代英语词典的语法指南，这类错误会破坏句子的时态一致性。
"Wasn't" 是英语中常见的缩写形式，以下是其详细解析：
Hewasn't at home yesterday.（他昨天不在家）
The catwasn't hungry.（那只猫不饿）
Shewasn't happy with the result.（她对结果不满意）
Iwasn't a teacher ten years ago.（十年前我不是老师）
Hewasn't reading a book when I called.（我打电话时他没在读书）
The meetingwasn't postponed.（会议未被推迟）
The weatherwasn't sunny yesterday.（昨天天气不晴朗）
Your hairwasn't long then, but now it is.（那时你头发不长，但现在很长）
The partywasn't fun.（那个聚会没意思）
"Hewasn't what I wanted, what I thought, no."（他并非我心中所想之人）
Wasn't 是英语中表达过去否定状态的核心词汇，需结合语境选择正确的语法结构。掌握其与didn't 的区别及适用场景，可显著提升语言准确性。
