Hi everyone<br/><br/>Which is better?<br/><br/>Without her encouragment, <i><font color="#0000ff">this book surely would never have been written</font></i>. (Original sentence I found in my book)<br/><br/><font color="#0000ff">Without her encouragment, <font color="#0000ff"><i>t</i></font><i>his book surely would have never been wriiten</i></font>. <br/><br/>In a conversation, I think we can say <i><font color="#800080">'this book surely <b>would've</b> never been wriiten.</font></i>' <br/>or <i><font color="#800080">'this book surely never would've been written.</font></i>'<br/><br/>Thanks<br/>LiJ
