Does the usage of the word 'was' make any difference???

Which one's correct or are both of em correct?

1. It was, as if though, his life was shattered...

or,

2. It was, as if though, his life shattered...

If so, please explain why....thnx in advance!!!

Neither is anywhere near correct, Trunks– nor is 'em'. Perhaps one of these is the intent: It was as if his life (was) shattered (, though).

You can use the same verb twice in a sentence, yes, if the rest of the sentence is OK. Your example with 'have' is fine.

What is wrong with your originals is a complex combination of incorrect punctuation and word usage which I do not have time to go through. Just compare your sentences with mine for an explanation.
