00 If I remember correctly, I think CalifJim used this term in one of the his responding posts and wonder what that is. I googled and came up little. 02 br
02 br
00 I think he used the term when talking about the need for an article for the words "college education." 02 br
02 br
00 Also, do I need to back-shift for these? Can I safely assume that when "non-feeling" words are involved, back-shifting won't be necessary if the condition holds true? 02 br
02 br
00 I was told (non-feeling words, to me) that you are (no need for 'were'??)interested in buying my car. 02 br
02 br
00 He sugggested the idea that you might be interested in buying my car. -- Not a good example. I think, since 'might' contains a sense of the past. 0-
