Guest  +  39348 Mon, 26 Jul 04 02:08 PM Example sentence: "But if enough people could pull together in a common cause, who knows what we might accomplish?" Question: Will the meaning change if "not" is inserted after "might"--i.e. "what we might not accomplish"? If both are correct, is there any difference in meaning? Thank you, Oleg P.S. I have registered under the username "kote". Where shall I look for the answer? Guest

Instead of sounding positive, the sentence will sound more like a joke. It will sound like you're saying, "If we work together, we'll be useless and not accomplish much of anything" So, I wouldn't put "not" in there. haoqide Joined on Mon, Jul 5 2004 Nashville, TN Full Member 307 我自己学中文, 可是我说得不好！ 如果你想学习圣经，请和我联系。 Jokes
