The thread about fanboys and fangirls made me curious. How many boys and girls are here? Just reply with a + to the thread

i had a big argument with my english teacher today, she just drove me nuts. there's this sentence:
Laura __________ (not to allow) to go abroad before she ___________ (to renew) her health insurance.
it should be past simple/past perfect. we spent like 30mins arguing which is which and i'm still confused.
i just thought i'd ask here because there are a lot native speakers and people who speak really good english.

i'm very sorry about offtopic but i really need to know

Laura isn't allowed to go abroad before she renews her health insurance.

It's an awkward sentence in general. This sounds better.

Before Laura renews her health insurance she isn't allowed to go abroad.

Swapping it sounds better IMO.

yeah, i know, it's sounds weird enough on its own.
and if we were to use past tenses? simple and perfect?

AYRT

Past tense would be this:
Laura wasn't allowed to go abroad before she renewed her health insurance.

Also after thinking about it I think using "until" instead of "before" would make the sentence less awkward too, so like this:
Laura isn't allowed to go abroad until she renews her health insurance.

I'm fucking tired of my bestie, she keeps lying to me, and I know it but I can't prove it, what can I do nonies?

confront her

I did, but since I can't prove her I know she has been lying to me, I can't just tell her I know she has been lying to me, because she will deny it over and over again.

dump her then. she's not a real friend if she keeps lying to you.

We get many 'topaz gone wrong' threads, but I don't recall a single 'topaz done right' one. Do you have any examples of good topazed icons?

Reply

That's the thing. When Topaz is 'done right' you can't tell it was even used.

DA

Exactly! Every icon that is not a topaz monster could potentially be a topaz done right one.
