I tried Ctrl U etc. on my PC,; it didn't work. Hope I'll figure out another way eventually, or I'd have to use quotes again.(sigh)
If they have no telephone, there's no way we will get to know that the concert has been cancelled. (What's the grammar rule for this). And what has been cancelled really mean here.

Hi,

get to know - idiomatic for learn / find out / discover..
eg I

Thank you, Clive. So, things like this do happen? I wonder wouldn't it be just as clear if one simply say: There's no way we will get to know that the concert would be cancelled(before it happens), or was cancelled(already happened). For some reason, will get to know and has been cancelled just confuses me.

Hi,
It would b better to rewrite the sentence using 'if'.
Do you want to try?
