exodus74 Finally I showed Vancouver downtown to my wife, first time within a year. What has "a year" got to do with it? Are you saying that you and your wife moved to Vancouver a year ago?

No. We moved to Surrey one year ago. It is just fifty kilometers from Vancouver. I work in Vancouver and see it every day but I had no time to show it to my wife.

OK. In that case it should be obvious to you how to change the sentence, right?

Instead of "here", write "to Surrey".

OK?
