What does "it" refer to in such a sentence? Could anyone tell me what the article "it" in the second if-clause refers to? Does it refer to the "affidavit" or "disclosure"? And what's more, WOULD in the first if-clause is thought to be correct, how about WOULD in the second if-clause? Thank you in advance! SENTENCE:A prosecutor must ask a judge to seal an affidavit if disclosure would jeopardize confidential informants, if it would harm a continuing investigation or if it contained information from an unexpired court-ordered wiretap.

bring and take I was discussing the sentences below (as it happens, with my English teacher) and I came across the following problem of meaning (person A is speaking to person B): "It's John's birthday tomorrow, I will take him a nice gift" "It's John's birthday tomorrow, I will bring him a nice gift" It seems to me that in the first case, the person speaking (person A) is giving the impression that he will go alone to see John, whereas in the second sentence, it is implied that person A will be going to see John along with person B..... I would be grateful if anyone can either confirm that they also interpret the sentences in this way, or else confirm that I have invented shades of meaning that do not actually exist ! Thanks very much. Reply With Quote
