Hi,
http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/old?q=old
old: [only before noun] known for a long time: We're old rivals.
What I understand from the above is that if we say, for example, 'we are old friends' we mean that we are still friends. If so, what if we say 'we were old friends?
Does it mean that we are not friends anymore? Can we use it in a past structure?
Thanks.
