In my last post I talked about my struggle to refrain from use of 'would' and 'could' in my spoken English in an attempt to form simple sentences that is easy on the ear.
But don't get me wrong. These words should be used as and when necessary. 'Would' and 'Could' are thought to be more polite that 'Will' and 'Can'. And, in some cases these words have deadly impact. Especially as one liners.
Sample these:
1)
A: "Everyone is corrupt. How can I not be influenced? When there is easy money to make, why not? Tell me? Would you still hold on to your stupid principles?"
B: "I would!"
2)
A: "The customer is expecting us to deliver in this crazy schedule! Has he gone bonkers? It is not even worth a try."
B: "If I were you I would."
really fact i like this post.
