	Clive  +  462898 Fri, 11 Jan 08 04:26 AM Hi, "There was no cockroach to have made her ill." Is the tense of  "have made her ill" in relation to which tense: now or at that time? This seems like quite an ambiguous sentence . It's unclear whether or not she actually became ill although, if she did, it was not caused by a cockroach. It is also unclear as to whether she was still ill at the time of speaking. In practice, the context would usually make all these matters very clear.
