gladiator

The new gladiator would be a fool if he thought he followed the moral code where his world respected.

He demoralized himself by stealing and killing the others in order to survive.

Are they OK?

Thank you

Thank you Clive,

Why the verb " respects " is present tense?

Would you tell me what you said " but do you mean specific others, or unspecific others?"

Thank you Clive,

I mean it is in the past.

Can I say?

The new gladiator would have been a fool if he had thought he was following the moral code where his world respected.

I mean " the three people over there in the corner".

Hi,

I mean it is in the past.

This is fine: The new gladiator would have been a fool if he had thought he was following the moral code which his world respected.

'Where' doesn't work here. Don't worry, I don't mind telling you again, it's no trouble for me. The main thing is that you need to understand.

The simple past would often be used here instead of the past perfect. 

I mean " the three people over there in the corner". Then you can be specific, say 'killing the others'.

Best wishes yet again, Clive
