Use "Am I right in saying?" or "Do I have the right to say?" .Both sound more natural,

rajesh jainUse "Am I right in saying?" or "Do I have the right to say?"

'Do I have the right to say' is completely inappropriate here.

Maria D · Answer

I understood

It's as if we are in the court

Thanks Maria and fivejedjon.  Shouldn't it be "It's as if we were in the court" .Use of simple past after "as if".
