I think, since this thread is aimed at people who aren't sure of their English, it'd be good if we avoid that sort of joke Wink It could become very confusing very quickly otherwise (I know I was getting pretty perplexed)...

As a final word, it actually is ask*...

Re: repetional lessons

Indeed, great idea. Not sure what you mean with "repetional" though. Is that supposed to be "repeTItional"? I could change that, let me know if you want me to.

Happy Thudding!

LOL!! Very Happy That's Morporkian (i.e. working class London-ish, but not really Cockney) rather than proper English. Albeit, folk in Lancre speak more of a mix of West Country crossed with Yorkshire-ish (just re-reading Lords and Ladies myself and noticed that last night Wink Smile)

Re: repetional lessons

the future is the past which was the present which we now live in,did live in,and shall live in.therefore there is no future as time is all but one piece which bends to mans will by way of hours,days,minutes and so forth.

Re: repetional lessons

Re: repetional lessons

English has 4 future tenses;

Simple future: I will help him later.
Future Continuous: I will be helping him later.
Future Perfect: I will have helped him later on.
Future in past: I would have help him later.

Simple eh?....no your right its bloody confusing.
