[CalvinLimuel]

Sure you may since no one get it right before.

1. If the oxygen supply in the atmosphere is not replenished by plants, it would be exhausted.
2. So lonely before, I've finally found what I've been looking for.
3. "Ignis Aurum Probat" is a Latin phrase which means "fire tests gold".

 

[MetalicMilanista]

I've got a very simple one below; is this sentence correct or wrong? Correct it if it's wrong.

Reno has a few friends because he is an arrogant, selfish bastard.

 

[yamiza]

@CalvinLimuel:
You've got 2 out of 3 corrects. Number 1's wrong.

@MetalicMilanista:
I think the sentence is already correct.

 

[CalvinLimuel]

Will this do:

1. If the oxygen supply in the atmosphere is not replenished by plants, it would become exhausted.

 

[v0LtaGe]

^
Erm.. If Im not mistaken..
It's not using Become, but Became..
It's a conditional clause type 2 if im not wrong..

 

[CalvinLimuel]

Became is past tense word, right?

 

[A-n0nymouZ]

1) If the oxygen supply in the atmosphere was not replenished by plants, it would be exhausted.

there's nothing wrong with that.... >.<

 

[yamiza]

@anonymous, CalvinLimuel:
Sorry, it's still wrong.

@voltage:
Yes, it is conditional type 2

I'll give out the answer

If the oxygen supply in the atmosphere was not replenished by plants, it would be exhausted.

WAS is wrong, instead we use:

If the oxygen supply in the atmosphere were not replenished by plants, it would be exhausted

 

[CalvinLimuel]

OK next question from yamiza! /no1

 

[A-n0nymouZ]

actually there's nothing wrong in using WAS instead of WERE
knew this rule some time ago but my teacher said its ok to use WAS

 

[yamiza]

@a-nonymouz:
Is it? Maybe that's a new rule but... the correct rule is using were.
