Yet
Hello,
I have a few questions:
a) Can one use 'yet' to connect two clauses like this: I saw a man who was rich in wealth yet poor in behavior. (or something like that)
b) What is the meaning of 'tuned in for'? Is it the same as 'tuned in to'? Can someone give examples? Also, can it be used figuratively?
c) Is 'would' used in the past tense in the sense 'was going to'? Examples: It appeared that the members would break the treaty. Would he sign the contract or delay it?
In both cases, is would used as 'was going to' as in: It appeared that the members were going to... Was he going to sign... Then does it mean a future scenario is expressed in past tense?
Regards,

Then the meanings are the same, but 'to' I think is the more common by far.
