00What I meant was whether it should be "exist" or "exists" (with or without the s at the end) when you are refering to time.02br
02br
00The examples I gave... at times there is the s as in exists and at times no s as in exist.02br

0 «As you can see in all three sentences, the same writer writing in the same passage, used it correctly and wrongly? Am I right to say that? Why??? It is mind-boggling, no?»02br

00Yes!02br
00Maybe he was in a great hurry...02br
