0Hello, I'm a new member.02br
02br
00My English is not so good.02br
02br
00My question's this.02br
02br
00"She gave me a ticket of Star Wars since she won't be able to go. Would you go with me?"02br
02br
00"She gave me a ticket of Star Wars since she wouldn't be able to go. Would you go with me?"02br
02br
00Which is collect? or Both are collect?02br
02br
00I think each tense should be matched.02br
02br
00However in this case, the fact that she won't be able to go to the movie is a future thing.02br
02br
00In that case, both sentences are OK?0-
