Hi, I.m not a native speaker of English so sorry for my poor English.
Recently, I learn about the meaning and usage of "willing" but there are something confusing me.
I find a example in Dictionary : The landlord was willing to accept us a tenants. I think the meaning is " the landlord" always have no reason for not accepting us but " willing" is an adjective so we need to add a verb in front of this but why is [Was] instead of [is] .
What is the difference between these? Thanks.
