There's a few example sentences here... Some of them are easy, but others I'm not so sure on.
[He turns the book so she can see a sentence he's particularly stumped on: "The manager said his team ____ win the soccer league and they actually did ____ season."]
Is the first word "would" or "will"? I guess it's in past tense, so "would" sounds correct, but he's talking about a future soccer league, so maybe future tense?
The second blank gives the option, "the next" season or "next". Is there really a difference?
[This is the kind of technical question he'd ask Makoto's advice on rather than Ann, who can speak fluent English but who wouldn't exactly be able to pin down the nuts and bolts of grammar.]
no subject
