&lt;p&gt;1. Could you help me to edit the paragraph, please ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Is it possible to replace all the underlined words with the past tenses even though the post and the thread are existing in the record of the English forums now&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
