Tenses that can go with "since"
Hi,
I wrote the one on top and AlpheccaStars wrote what's below that. Are the tenses "would have " or "must have received" correct? I feel the tense "must have received" places the context in a past setting with no current relevance and should go with the word "current".
To be considered ***, one would have to be either born in or educated since (the) __ grade in one of the countries whose primary language is English
To be considered ***, one must have received their education in countries whose primary language is English since the ___ grade if they hadn't been born there.

Say: I wrote the one on top, and someone else wrote what's below that. By mentioning people by name you give the impression that you are in some way deliberately trying to embarrass them. You may be doing this quite innocently, but it will not necessarily be taken that way by readers.

To be ..., one would have to be either born in or educated since ... [future births; future education]
To be ..., one would have to have been either born in or educated since ... [people already born, already educated]
To be ..., one must receiv

Thanks. I just want to leave no doubt that I quoted the source whenever I quote what someone said or borrow his or her words. That is why I write the name of the person who wrote anything I want to use or quote. I know AlpheccaStars has an excellent grasp of the English language and I learned a lot from him/her.
