It’s important that all the staff who are in the office arrive on time for today’s meeting.
It will be important that all office staff arrived on time for today’s meeting.
It’s important that all employees in the office are on time for today’s meeting.
Gilbert: Good, but why did you change the verb "are" to "arrive"?
Karine: Check your verb tenses--you also changed that verb.
Irena: Good--but there is a problem with the verb "are" that I would like you to solve without changing it completely;-)
Sorry Veronica,
I am not sure what the problem is unless ...will be on time...is a better choice.
Irena: That's not the answer either:-( Think difficult verb problems--if nothing comes to you, watch for the answers in the blog on Tuesday.
