but what if there is some term with jw like 1/(1+.5jw)
how it will be catered
I could not see such example in any fourier transform table

Plz guide me

Just build the fraction by multiplying by $\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{1}{1+.5jw}=\frac{2}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{1+.5jw}=\frac{2}{2+jw}$

Just remember that the inversve transform is linear so

$F^{-1}\left( \frac{2}{2+jw} \right) =2F^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2+jw} \right)$
