Had
Hello,
They would not have left him until he (had) offered them the money. (I take it (had) is unnecessary here, or is it needed because of 'would have' in the first clause?)
2) I am not going to say yes just so you can have a good time (would 'could' be better than 'can' because 'I am not going to' refers to the future?)
3) We normally say capitalism without an article. But suppose we substitute free market for it, what do we do: In capitalism, there is exploitation. In free market, there is exploitation. (is no article necessary?)
Thanks.
