Which bold word should I use? Thanks. Edited by Lionel Koh (03/10/13 08:32 PM) Top #209961 - 03/10/13 09:11 PM Re: If I win / won ... [Re: Lionel Koh] zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/13/05 Posts: 3290 Loc: R'lyeh I'd say: If I won a million dollars please give it to me. This would imply that somebody said you had won the million dollars, and now you want to get paid. Using win would imply that it might happen in the future. If I win a million dollars, I am going to live in France. _________________________ Ceci n'est pas un seing. Top #209967 - 03/11/13 11:10 AM Re: If I win / won ...

[Re: zmjezhd] BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5295 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague I'd say: If I won a million dollars please give it to me. But if you won a million dollars would you give some to me? ( for a train ticket to come visit you in France f.i.?) Top #209975 - 03/11/13 06:57 PM Re: If I win / won ... [Re: BranShea] zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/13/05 Posts: 3290 Loc: R'lyeh But if you won a million dollars would you give some to me? But of course. (for a train ticket to come visit you in France f.i.?) How did you know I was thinking of moving to France? I work with a fellow who left Paris to work and live in Sunnyvale. I spent two years working in and commuting to Sunnyvale, and I would rather live in Philadelphia or Emden. _________________________ Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I would probably live out in the provinces. Paris is a nice place to visit but not necessarily where I would want to live.

I've visited La Belle France many times since, but have absolutely no desire to re-visit that lovely city inhabited by rather unlovely people. The oinhabitants of the rest of France are, by and large, excellent and ffriendly people. (One might well say all that about London, too! - I was born on London's outskirts, but have emigrated 'up North' and try to avoid visits to the captal as far as possible!) _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise Top #210153 - 03/28/13 06:39 PM Re: "The last time I saw Paris ..." [Re: Rhubarb Commando] LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 8433 Loc: Land of the Flat Water One could say the same is true of the very busy residents of New York City. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep---- Top #210168 - 03/29/13 04:57 PM Re: "The last time I saw Paris ..."
