Cách sử dụng
The expression "if it wasn't/weren't for" is used to explain that something couldn't happen or exist without the help or influence of someone or something else. For example, you can say "If it wasn't for my parents, I wouldn't be able to go to school." This means that without the support of your parents, you would not be able to go to school. You can also use it in a negative sense, such as "If it weren't for the rain, we could have gone to the beach." This means that the rain prevented you from going to the beach. So, the expression is used to give credit or blame to someone or something for something that has or hasn't happened.
