Mister Micawber please, what do you think of these:

1b) No one was allowed / authorised to leave / quit the boat during the whole time it / she remained / stayed / was at the port. (is "harbour" better than "port" ? is there any difference ?)

3) During the last months of his rule the President (?) was not that popular any more.

9) We don't have to buy the books we use / are using ? (both?)

10) Were they less rich, they would have been ruined. (mixed conditional ? correct ?)

Best regards

Dear teachers,

Would you please tell me if the following sentences are correct?

1) a) Since I live (or Since I am ?) in NY I have been used to noise and pollution.

b) I have long been used to living alone.

2)a) When will you tell me about what I will / would have to do?

b) I wonder when he will finish school.

c) As long as you let me know when you WILL ARRIVE, I will come and meet you at the station. (wrong ?)

3) a) She is having a baby. (immediate future)
b) She is going to have a baby. (less immediate ?)

4) If I am as clever as you think, I should have been rich by now. (correct ?)

Would you have other examples of a mixed conditional type 1 + type 3 ?

5) a) If my father were not paying / didnât pay my fees, I wouldnât be studying here.

b) If my father had not paid my fees, I wouldnât be studying here.

Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Hela
