I don’t think you would need to be embarrassed, but some people (mistakenly, sure) think it is wrong. As so often occurs with these scheming women, they are following uninformed prescriptions handed down by folks who don’t know any better. Or if they do come from good doctors, they are going to have to visit doctors, not psychiatric hospitals.

Noon and midnight

Do not use 12 a.m. at 12:30 p.m., or 12 p.m. , as they are ambiguous. Instead of 12 noon or 12 midnight or, better yet, simply noon or midnight.

Why is noon just in the middle

of the night?

A.M. and P.M. start immediately after Midnight and Noon respectively.

This means that 00:00 A.M. or 00:00 P.M. (or 12:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.) have no meanings.

Every day starts exactly at midnight and the A.M. starts immediately after that point in time e.g. To avoid confusion timetables, when scheduling

around midnight, prefer either 23:59 or 00:01 to avoid confusion as to whether the day is being referred to or not.

Since thimble can hold just a little bit of something, all you need is something that can hold a whole lot of stuff. A barrel if you consider patience something deserving of a wet measure like oil, or bushel if your patience is something that can be held by a dry measure like apples.

Maybe there should be classic measures of emotions or conditions that work like terms of venery work for groups of creatures, pairing thereby a covey of quail with a chaldron of charm, a gaggle of geese with a hectare of hate, a clowder of cats with a candela of curiosity, or a kettle of kestrels with a firkin of famine..

Only the individual words have tense (not multiword phrases).

Since the tense of was is the past tense, then in future tense, so that of the was. Hence the tense of was is the past tense. The construction to INFINITIVE is a periphrastic expression in English with a particular meaning. In its epistemic mode, it conveys the inevitable future or near present or near future, but not quite so near as be about to do. (In its deontic mode, not used here, it’s light command.) The Spanish did the same. The OED says of be plus an infinitive that is it

means: With infinitive. Expresing an appointed or arranged future action; (hence also) expressing necessity, obligation, duty, fitness, or appropriateness.

So this acts effectively like a modal; and indeed has both an epistemic and a deontic mode. Here the epistemic mode is used, the one corresponding to simple will rather than to must.

In order to understand what author was really trying to convey, one must look at original document.

Todos aos despuu00e9s, frente al pelotu00f3n de Fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buenda haba de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevu00f3 a conocer el hielo.

The tense used in the Spanish verb corresponding to the English was the “pru00e9tu00e9rito imperfecto de indicativo” ( haba rather than hubo ), a simple tense often just called the “imperfect” in English.

On the other hand, the tense used for the Spanish verb corresponding to the Japanese translation’s took was the “prestu00e9rito ( llevu00f3 not llevaba ), usually called the preterite or simple past indicative in French.

The problem is that unlike Spanish, English does not offer a pair of contrasting morphological (inflectional) past tenses where one past tense has the imperfect aspect while the other past tense has the perfect aspect.

What is the easiest/direct way to clarify this distinction in English? I cannot tell just by looking at their inflectional morphology that was had originally been an ongoing?

Another kind of ways which the original’s Haba de Recordar could have been translated into English would remember rather than was to remember. Here would serves as past tense of the modal verb will to express the was going to type of aspect.

English uses sequences of verbs in various inflections to express many nuanced and complex combinations of tense, mode, and aspect. When the end is near, the beginning is no end, and there’s no reason why each one has any particular purpose.

If the jury returned out and found he was in danger of dying, a plea deal would have been accepted.

There’s no special “name” for that particular periphrastic construction, any more than there is a “name” for the periphrastic expression out loud in English. Haba de recordar has no name in Spanish, either. What is it that you do? No name nor need to be; so it was never created.

Same goes to took to discover in Spanish, or LLlevu00f3 a conocer in Spanish. What are things that have not their own names?

Noun, not verb

Sheafs is here a plural noun, not a singular verb. What is Sheafs? It does exist a verb sheaf meaning to bind up into a sheaf or sheaves, but that is not what this instance of the word is.

And you’re right that sheaf has as its oldest sense a bundle of things, often grains Is there a meaning behind “Taking In Sheaves” in the old tune?

What we have here in your quotation is another extended meaning. If the OED is applicable, it

gives these pertinent senses: 1 E. An array of fire, water, or smoke are darting up together. (Cf. F. Gerbe(.) 1811

• Pinkerton Petral. I. 535 — A thousand sheaves of fire blew up into the air, where, breaking and dispersing, they fell like a shower of stars. V. 535 — The fire ceased to exist until the night had passed. The fire went up and the fire destroyed.
• Hull, “1957 Dufferin Lett. What is the laterals and vertical angles of high lat. are of this position? 125 — A shining liquid column, or rather a sheaf of columns wreathed in robes of vapour, sprung into the air.

likely is this one: 6a. Physics and Math. A bundle of small ray lines. All the all passing through a given point.

• 1890 Eagles Descript. Geom. 303 -Sheafs of rays which in the case of a source of light..form a cone of which that source is the vortex.

Sheafs or Sheaves?

As for the variant inflections, sheafs and sheaves alternate. This is because they have “the same sense of being able to swap their states of the opposite”. Both are current; I don’t know their relative popularity.

Sheaves date from the 16 th century, ^and sheaves from the 17th.

In the north of Britain (northern England and Scotland) during the 19 ^th century and perhaps later could be found dialectal plurals like shove and shoofs.

The easiest rule to learn is simply that you add’s whenever you really say an extra /z/ at the end when forming the possessive, compared with how you say the non-possessive version. Let your ear be your guide. If you can’t understand the idea of the “silence”, then that’s all there is to it. No fancy rules full of exceptions. How can I speak in my ear, without talking in the other’s language?

So words ending in unstressed /iz/ are exempt, like for example this series’ end, that species’ demise, Mercedes’, Ramses’, Sophocles’, Socrates’, Achilles’, Diomedes’, Archimedes’, Eratosthenes’, Ulysses’. (But not trapeze’s, because that one is stressed!) How does that work?

To “in these days”, some people did not add another /z/ if it already had one, and so wrote Jesus’ to indicate they did not say an extra /z/ there compared with Jesus’s : both are just/dizs/ However, most people today now say Jesus’s, because it has three syllables: /dizsz/

Same with Moses with three syllables rather than the older Moses with only two. So know that things such as Ross and Chaz are really wrong, because no one says those with only one syllable. Exactly what is a common mistake not fixed at all?

You can say house of your boss is an extra syllable for this phrase.’I really get that’ Similarly, all the Jameses I have ever personally known have the extra /z/ tacked on when you are talking about something of theirs, which means it is for those speakers James’s house, even all the Jameses’ houses because nouns are only allowed one /z/ inflection, not two.

Why do you choose to write in your ear, because it represents speech and other forms of communication? If you used an extra radial, z, then you would write’s, but if you don’t use it, then you wouldn’t write it.. That’s why you from time to time see forms like for goodness’ sake or for conscience’ sake. Those are possessive but have no extra syllable.

As for the specific case of Aeneas, in older writing you will find that because his name already ends in /z/, people would suppress the extra one when they would form the possessive… like Aeneas’ escape from Troy. How can you confirm that this posits a possessive when spoken correctly? If when you’re actually saying ‘Aeneas escapes from Troy,’ it turns out that you’d use the one-syllable version of the word, and most people today say it, then it must be Aeneas’s escape from Troy. What are you worried about?

How many issississes are present in a row, from one to the other?

No, this is not usually a way to indicate the future: it’s more like must than it’s like will.

The OED cover this as senses 16.. and 17 for 16. and.

• r:17. From the dative infinitive, making a future of appointment or arrangement; hence of necessity, obligation, or duty, in which sense have is now commonly substituted.

  • If you go to Germany, or you prefer to live in England, you find Richardson Pamela III. 1744. 264, I am to thank you, my dear Miss, for your kind and caring Letter.I must be very appreciated for it.
• 16b with infinitive passive
  • 1869 Freeman Norm. Conq. v. Ref. III. xii. Part 3. 160 Normandy was to be invaded on all sides.

  • Mod. Is this house to let? These can’t be compared with these.
• 17b.. With infinitive passive
  • 1798 Malthus Popul. (1817) II.194 It must be to be depended upon.

With this construction, it is a deontic periphrastic structure. That means this is a deontic periphrastic construction. In other words, be + to +infinitive is simply another way of expressing obligation, just as have + to +infinitive is. (Visualization = a sentence when the sentence starts with the “I have an obligation”).

So these two things are pretty much the

• same thing: You’re to turn in your assignment on time — or not at all.
• Your assignment has to be completed in time if you want to be in top shape. When is it possible?
• Is it necessary to turn on assignments on time?
• Should I turn in my assignment on time?

What’s meant by paring up, and by the same token, as too

• are other similar things also essentially equivalents: You are already to be ready by 8 o’clock. The second half of the meal leaves you to decide whether or not to eat at dinner.
• What’s a good 10 minute time limit?
• You shall be dressed and ready by 8 o’clock.
• Is there any way to get ready after 8 or 7, you must be dressed and ready :D?

One advantage of finite be or have here is that it can express time (and other things), while modals for the most part can’t.

• Mr. Johnson has told me that I never turn in time. Why?
• Yesterday, Mr Johnson told us that we were to turn in our assignment on time — or not at all.

This is not the same as the were oninfinitive construction uses for hypotheticals as given by OED sense 18: 18.

• The past subjunctive were with the infinitive makes an emphatically hypothetical condition. cf., in E. A. Braes. in Les Ledger, J., (1976). The degrees of uncertainty in If I went, If I should go, If I were to go is what you should know.

If there is another be + to +infinitive, then it applies not here. As the OED sense 6:

Without seeing the wording of the sentence you mention having seen, and probably also its context, it is impossible to say for certain. In the edited text on the bottom, I posit a couple of ways (in standard English) it would be acceptable for him.

Suppose X would do this, and yes Y would do that. If Y does this, what is the common way to

• build it then?

Can I speak a definite-none-standard English? You often hear it in non-native speakers — and perhaps more commonly from those non-native speakers who originally have a Germanic language as their first language. ” I also speak only from experience on that hunch, and not from research. I understand my hunch. I just want you to understand my perspective.”

Why is the conditional construction we now hear from native speakers? Why is it not considered standard in English? An English composition teacher would certainly mark it “wrong”. Why are you now hearing that it’s not “correct”?

F the standard if and then forms are the following (notice that would never occur in

1. the if part): If X does this, then Y will do that.
2. If Y has done this then X has done this. If any other means of showing Y a particular idea, Y will need to do this.
3. What should be Y does when X will do this?
4. If X does this then Y does that.
5. If X did something then Y would do something, even better.
6. If ‘X’ did this, then ‘Y’ would do this.
7. If Y can do something to do, why?
   If Y was certain of this then Y might do that.
8. If X had done this, then Y would have done this.

Number 7 (with were) is given in two forms, because it can be more simply phrased when the verb is just to be (? A third form of number 7, employing was instead of were, is sometimes considered uneducated in North America and should probably be avoided in formal writing there.

Is there a standard for 8 8-or-9) in a textbook? (Scientist e.g. : “Test a calculator or calculator that uses no standard form.)

For some reason, it has not happened, even though you know that it happens.

What is the correct answer to the question of “What is the correct way to construct a conditional sentence with would”? and it is then numbers 5, 7 (both flavors), or 8 from the list above, depending upon exactly what you are attempting to convey.

If you are relating reported speech (casual dialogue, especially in dialect) then either of the two non-standard forms might occur. What are some of the best examples of formal writing?

Then

it was a couple of other cases where would you find if in Standard English instead of if portion. If it

1. had snow, could we have gone to the library?
2. If you would please give me some peace and quiet, I will get this finished so we can get out of here

The combination of 3 and 7 above is something of a combination. Is there some place

• to try and learn that I don’t know?
• If you could have one thing from me, we would best be about it.

Why do you think that you have an answer? where the modal auxiliary is indicating something other than simple time. John Lawler talks about this at a length in this answer. These sort of will and would be allowable, and add more cases to my list above.

What is the difference between a second thought and a past thought vs a future (call it it non-past)?

In summary there are a huge whole lot of possible ways of putting together if and then statements in English. If I see the original text you are alluding to, I cannot say whether it would pass muster as standard English or

not.
