Grammar
At the same time that
Hi,
Can 'at the same that' and 'at the same time as' be used interchangeably: He went out at the same time that the phone rang.
b) Can 'wedded' be used as a verb in passive form? I mean it as a figure of speech that a person was strongly devoted to something. Both he and John were wedded to the TV. Or, is wedded in such instances function as an adjective?
c) More such mistakes and our team will lose and let the manager down.
Is this okay? Or this variation: more such mistakes and our team loses and lets the manager down.
Thanks.
