Asked on December 20, 2021 in Grammar.
Why did you mention the word “would” in your sentence? The phrase will (that) is used in formal English to make a tenacious wish.
I wish (that) I could have been), the more common and idiomatic: “I
wish… I wish it could have been…”

Asked on March 28, 2021 in Other.
I’ll be quiet.
If I say, “I am/was quiet” however, I can’t say “I’m quiet.” Is it subjunctive mood?
What are the imperatives of silence?
In addition, you can say “I’d better be quiet”.

AJ dip-in is rarely found in use. Nor can we find it in a Dicionary. How has the word “drop-in” proven more effective than all the other words we get in the same word “drive-in”? I think it means that it’ll serve as a guide you can browse through and get some knowledge, if not thorough.

Asked on March 27, 2021 in Meaning.
This is why there is no difference to meaning. Both sentences express the negation of time.
However, the use of any in the former makes the negation emphatic. I have got the smallest amount of time to lose, especially in this sentence. I don’t have that much time to
lose.
