sentence

Hi
Please tell me if this sentence conveys this idea:

Each one of them (only two were there) acted as the judge in the people's court in two occasions.

( I want convey that only one got to be judge in one occasion.) Should I say "....in two different occasions"?

vsuresh Please tell me if ... I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I think it's this: Each of the two acted as judge [once / on one occasion] in the people's court.

I tried several different ways at the time I answered your question, and I gave you the only good one I could think of. It's a rather tricky concept to convey, so there aren't a lot of different ways to say it.
