Extradite

However, it appears unlikely that Knox would be extradited back to Italy from the US.

Mike Heavey, a friend of the Knox family, told the BBC she would need time to assimilate to normal life.

"It's going to be very difficult but Amanda is amazingly effervescent and resilient."

Knox would probably re-enrol at the University of Washington to finish her degree, he said.

Meanwhile, fellow member of the Friends of Amanda Knox group Jim Lovering said she was likely to wait a month or two before giving her full account of the ordeal.

She would have to sell her story to pay off debts accrued by her family in fighting her case, he added.

The verb extradite is transitive.

When you write 'extradited back to Italy' , there is no object for the verb 'extradite'.

It should be something like 'extradited her back to Italy'

Please tell me.

1.She has to sell her story ...

2.She will have to sell her story ...

I would write either the first of the second one in this context.

Why should it be 'she would have to sell her story' ... ?

Thanks Clive for the reply.

The point is that I am not clever as you when it comes to English grammar.

Maybe I am cleverer than you when it comes to training at the gym!

I will train 100 minutes tomorrow around 16.00pm.


I just searched the Interenet and found the following on this:

The following is fine too.

The mother was kissed by her daughter on the cheek.


Do you find a flaw in the above?

On the surface or for my knowledge of English it looks fine.
