Your sentences are grammatically good. Does that answer your question? _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Neither. They are both present simple. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

1. I think he has more to say about the issue. 2. She might have more to say on this.
These two sentences are on present simple. They depend on how u talk and the time of your context. If the time is in the past, then you should say this:
1. I thought he had more to say about the issue. 2. She could have more to say on this.
And if the time is in the future, then you should say this:
1. I think he will have more to say about the issue. 2. She might be able to say more on this.

HI again, another one please.
1. It wouldn't surprise me at all if one day a big company seek his service for a TV commercial.
2. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days a big company sign then for a TV commercial.
Please check or if you could suggest something better.
thanks |

These are fine:
1. It wouldn't surprise me at all if one day a big company seeks his service for a TV commercial.
2. I wouldn't be surprised [at all] if one of these days a big company signs them for a TV commercial. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Hi Sir,
Kindly check which of the following is gramatically good. I'm thinking of a word to replace "already" as I'm a bit abused in using it.
1. I already have the copy of your request.
2. I have with me now the the copy of your request.
3. I had [now] the copy of your request.
Thank you. |

#1 and #2 are fine. You cannot use #3 with 'now', but without 'now', the sentence means that you do not have the copy now. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
