The preceding bulb was mounted in the socket.
(In this sentence without the particle 'was' it does not make sense.) Preceding means to -go before- or -has gone before-. 'was' needs to be in the sentence to re-enforce that this situation happened in the past.
context: I flipped the switch, but the light did not come on. So I took a look at the lamp and realized that the preceding bulb was mounted in the socket. So I removed the old light bulb and replaced it with a new one.
Hope that this helps! がんばってね！
(がんばってね is Japanese; it can also be written 頑張ってね.
It means "keep at it!"
If I use a translator, 坚持下去！ maybe?)
Thanks for the help!
because he might wonder if you had said something bad :D
