It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

Hi,

What is the antonym of ex-student? Student. Just as wife is the opposite of ex-wife.

He is my ex-teacher.
He was my ex-teacher.

Which sentence is correct?

Hi,

Depends a bit on the context, but usually is. Was sounds like he died. Or perhaps became your teacher again, just like your ex-wife might become your wife again. Big Smile [:D]

Does 'We were college roomates' sound fine to you, Clive?

Ye, but it's spelled 'roommates'.

The antonym for ex-student would be student. Ex- student means : no longer a student so student means student at present. Just my opinion.
