meaning of "given enough time" #1 (permalink) Mon Oct 20, 2008 16:44 pm   meaning of "given enough time"
 

Hi everybody,

I have a sentence:
"But, given enough time, everyone will eventually visit the switch room as many times as everyone else"

Could you explain me what is the meaning of "given enough time" in above sentence?
How can I write the phrase "given enough time" in a long form and more clear to understand?

Big thank you for you.

Welcometo the site, Quebec12.

"Given enough time" basically means "eventually"/"after enough time has been allowed to pass".
