Default Re: How would you define the future time?

PHP Code:
Ohhow convenient a logic here isYour logic is, as my question was vague at the beginningit must be still vague until nowA remarkable reasoning.
As 
they have been discussing my questionthey still didn't even know my 'pointI would not hint that if I were youThe joke is more on them than on me
First, I did not mean anything offensive, you inferred the wrong meaning of what I was trying to say. My answer was neutral, I was simply replying to your statement. Anyway, this can be regarded as of no importance.
PHP Code:
Those readers who are before you havent missed the pointwhich is about the future timerather than the future action

Secondly, I did say imagine the highway with cars, cars being the time, as in the concept. I did not describe it more thoroughly, to me it made sense because I understand it in my own way. Things do happen in the future, things that cannot be predicted by anyone because they have not happened, yet. Then, can future action have some relation to future time?


And, I couldn't agree more with the following;
PHP Code:
This extremely illogical riposte is stunningWhen a student asks "How do we use Simple Present tense?"you may award to him or her the same wisdom"You obviously have an idea of what the Simple Present tense is, and unless you ask the right question that can be answered, how can people understand what you mean. You ask in Simple Present tense, how comes you don't know the Simple Present tense?"
