As and was wondering

Hello,
I have 2 questions

1)If I want to say that I'm not good enough to play in the national team, could I say
I'm not as good to play in the ational team
Or "as" is not used in a correct form?

2) When we use "I was wondering" what tense do we use?
For example if I want to ask somebody if the nex day he has to time to explain something, should I say
a) I was wonderinf if tomorrow you have some time...... or
b) I was wondering if tomorrow you had some time..... or
c) I was wondering if tomorrow will have some time.....
Which one is the most natural (and correct)?

Thanks

Hi Fab, (1) No, 'as' does not work here. 'I'm not good enough to play on the national team' or 'I'm not as good as the players on the national team. (2) All are natural and correct, simply showing slight variations in courtesy.

  • 'Could' is usually the most hesitant, hence the most polite.
