Hi :) Don't worry about the whole "tempting fate" thing. I was trying to be humorous.
Btw Sophie does have a good point about using "must" so often. If it's easier to translate or in cases where it really does mean the thing really does have to be done then it's perfect. Still, i think you have solved 3. Regards from Tom :) On Sunday, 13 October 2013, 18:35, Thomas Hackert <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Tom, *, On Sonntag, 13.

Here I am somehow at a loss, how I should interpret it, sorry ... :( What do you mean with the sentence "If I wrote something like that the poor kid..."? Why should it "get knocked down by a double-decker bus"? > Also it looks wrong nowadays.
