Verbs Adjusted To The Personal PronounThat should be "come from the future", not "came from the future". Being about the orator, not about someone being observed by them.*Shakes finger in strict teacher-esque manner*I'm sorry, that sounded very critical. It was very funny, bar the poor grammar.Dylan42 months ago#456reply

@DylanAre you sure? I don't know how orators and observers apply to coming.I thought "come" was just for present tense. "I guess I should have come from the future" just didn't sound right to me.swb42 months ago#463reply

Back @ SWBHmm, sorry, you're right, it is tense specific, but I'm still right. It's the verb "have" in there, think along the lines of "I have come from the shops" or "I came from the shops".Dylan42 months ago#465reply

Should have + past participleThis is used to talk about past events which may (not have happened) or did not happen and uses the past participle/perfect infinitive/3rd form of the verb (whichever nomenclature you prefer).I should have come from the future, I should have eaten more, I shouldn't have gone in front of the bus, etc.Either way, screw the grammar, and grammatical rebuttals, it was funny!Steve the (English Teaching) Snake42 months ago#467reply

imminent dangerHow about a simple: "I'm here to warn you of a clear and present danger to your health and well-being."It would delay and thwart the series of events portrayed, though it couldn't have done so because they'd already happened or not.grampadave42 months ago#500reply
