Muse gig in Turin Tomorrow I'm going to Turin where Muse will be going to perform 2days in a stretch (both dates are almost sold out, of course) . It has been a last time choice because tickets were, and are, very expensive (considering also the round trip Milan-Turin) but I managed to get two ticktes discounted by 30-33% I was close to go alone there (something I already did to see Coldplay in Warsaw) but finally also my brother is coming with me. I think it is very nice to share your emotions during the gig with someone you love (even though there are upsides on going to concerts on your own). I've always liked Muse's music and, if it's truth what it has been told about it, their live shows are totally amazing! And, according to forecasting, the weather will be with us. So, my biggest hope is that I don't dry out all my energies before the gig ends :-P Also because I am to wander around Turin till Saturday, at 4.30 A.M. And after that I will be having ahead a 2 hour return trip by train...tomorrow I'll need a lot of sugars and carbohydrates!

Were or/and have been? Hello everyone! In a dialogue, A (a ghost), after bringing B in a cave and showing him the future in a crystal, says to B: "Perhaps there is a reason you were brought here at this moment in time". As A refers to something (B being brought to the cave) happening between the past and the present ("this moment" makes me think about an action in the present), shouldn't have been used "you have been brought" instead of "you were brought"? Thanks in advance!

be to + infinitive Hello everyone! I have 2questions about using "be to+infinitive" - Considering this dialogue: A) "My Lord, I have been harbouring a sorcerer. For that, I offer the most sincere apology" B) "You were not to know" I read "be + to-infinitive" is used to express official arrangements, official orders, things that should be done, a possible aim when saying what should be done to reach it, prohibition, destiny. In the dialogue above how can the sentence "you were not to know" be interpreted? It sounds me like "you couldn't know it"... - "If it were to withdraw its backing, the two remaining coalition parties would have a majority of three seats" (it refers to a greek party pulling out of the coalition government). "be to+infninitve" is used in if-clauses to say that something must happens first (main clause) before something else can happen (if clause), isn't it? But in this case the if clause is something happens before what the main clause says. Can you clarify me? Thanks!

last game - NBA final Tonight (in my local time) there is the ending game of the current NBA season between Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs which are going to clash one last time to get the championship ring, after an intense six-games battle.The match starts at 3a.m (here in Italy) and if I find a good streaming channel and don't fall asleep with my head over the laptop keyboard, I'm going to watch it, wishing for a great performance by all the players in the court. In any case I hope that Miami will win as I've supported them since I was 11-12 years old (they were somewhat weak then ahahha). I have got an official team t-shirt from that period and if it wasn't too small, I'd wear it tonight! For anyone going to follow the game, have fun :)

How to use "would" in this case? Hello! I was reading a bbc article about a married teacher and a teenage pupil and a sentence, relating to what the young girl told a police iinteriewer, said: There were a few times when I would go over to his house... and after that things got even more serious. My question is: why there is "would go" and not" would have gone" as we're talking about an imagined situation in the past? Thanks!

Why are these future sentences expressed with a conditional mood and a past tense? Hello guys! I found these sentences: "He decided he would escort me" and "If I told you I was going with you to buenos aires?". In both cases the subordinate clauses refer to a situation in the future (I got it from the context). Can you explain me why conditional mood and past tense were used? Thanks!
