Hi
Can you help?
Please tell me whether the articles here are correct.
When you look at time according to the theory that is currently accepted, there are two main attitudes: monochronic and polychronic. In monochronic time things are linear, there is a straight line. There is a beginning anf there's an end and more importantly there is only one thing happening at a time. The polychronic attitude to time is where you've got a number of things that can be happening at the same time.

Your articles seem fine to me. I'm not sure if I like the lack of parallelism in the contrast between your description of monchronic and polychronic. And I would change some punctuation:
In monochronic time, things are linear: there is a straight line.
(If you wanted a parallel structure, you'd also have: In polychronic time, a number of things can be hapening at the same
In monochronic time, things are linear: there is a straight line.
(If you wanted a parallel structure, you'd also have: In polychronic time, a number of things can be hapening at the same

Thank you, Clive.
Actually I do not know the first word on that subject (monochronic and polychronic attitudes). It was a passage given in an question paper to test the appropriateness of articles.
