Xue's currently seeking bail
December 16, 2008 – 1:14 pm
Most people who know me well in person know that there's a group of professions which I have no fond feelings - lawyers, real estate agents ...
Xue Nai Yin's Lawyer, is seeking a bail for his client. It's not because Xue paid him enough money so the lawyer worked hard to try to get him out, it's exactly the opposite - Xue's run out of money, his lawyer needs to get him out so he can work and pay for the fees.
See.
Far be it for me to correct your English, but:
"Xue's ran out of money, his lawyer needs to get him out so he can work and pay for the fees"
should be "Xue's run out of money ..." because "Xue's" is short for "Xue has" and the past tense or completed aspect is already there!
Do I press the button that says: 发送？
Thank you very much, and all corrected.
It's quite embarrassing that I'm still having trouble with all the irregular verbs after so many years.
It should not be embarrassing. I would bet that more than quite a few native English speakers cannot tell you why certain things happen the way they do ... 他们也不会说中文。
