Plausible is possible</p><p>#2 The first sentence would rarely be used, unless emphasising the negative.

(which means that I wanted someone to&nbsp;believe me that I&#39;m really going to attend it) Is the word credible OK? Maybe &quot;truthful&quot;?</font></p> <p>Also: Is it always interchangeable to say either: I tried to not do it OR I tried not to do it???</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
