Explain the difference please...

[Terminator]

Hello Alan and Torsten ! Explain the difference please between "to reckon" and "to presume"
Thank you very much in advance
Terminator :evil:

[Torsten]

Hi Terminator,

I think reckon is used by British people and it's a bit less formal than presume.

TOEIC listening, question-response: Shouldn't Mr. Cobb be here by now?

[Vietanhpham_Winter]

But what do the two words mean?

Then I think the two words are the same to some extent.

After two university years, I was left with superficial knowledge of subjects that I studied and a few notebooks consisting of only the terms and definitions of all the courses taken

or

After two university years, I was left with superficial knowledge of subjects that I had studied and a few notebooks consisting of only the terms and definitions of all the courses I had taken

Which is more correct??? And why???

[Hawk054]

I just thought had studied is more correct because we use had when we mention specific period and in this sentence two years are given as a period.

If I'm right please confirm or if you can give another explanation please.

Thanks in advance.

[Vietanhpham_Winter]

Yeah it's the only correct one not more or less correct. But use LEFT instead of WAS LEFT which would mean you were deserted.
