How would you properly ask these 2 questions?
How would you properly ask these 2 questions?
1 If you can replace the X with Y, is the sentence any different than/from if you could replace it with A ?

3 Would you be more inclined to keep the X if you could replace it with A or B?
4 Would you be more inclined to keep the JUST LIKE when replacing it with AND or OR?
Thank you

Thank you doctor D,
I had a few questions
Could you replace "Where" with "in which" in 1 and 2?
Does "rather than replacing it with AND or OR" mean "if you could replace it with AND or OR"
As number 3 and 4 are the same except for the end of the sentence.
What I'm trying to say is "would you be more inclined to keep JUST LIKE i

First: Yes, you can substitute "in which" for "where" in sentences #1 & #2.
Second, No, "rather than replacing.." is not the same as "if you could replace..."
It looks like the problem is sentence #4. It is unclear at first glance what you want to say.
"Would you be more inclined to keep the JUST LIKE when replacing it with AND or OR?"
Y

What about
Would you be more inclined to keep JUST LIKE if you were to replace it with OR or would you keep it if you were to replace it with AND? meaning would you pick just like over OR more than over AND or vice versa?
Doctor D, do you think I can send you the links to the other threads please?

You can add the links to this reply if you wish. I check into English Forums irregularly, so no promises. Also, what is it that you do that you have so many questions?

Hello Doctor D,
Hope everything is going fine.
The reason I have so many answers is because I'm translating a book from french to english, one I originally wrote in french and would like to translate it into english. Here are the 5 threads I'm struggling with a lot.
