I meant here the time period. When I started the story I said that Latifa went to the library and she did not want to be late; this lecture was the reason. It is Ron's lecture.
How would you change "British married teacher" to make it idiomatic English?
I may delete the nationality and say that he was married. May I say, “He was a married teacher”? | Yes.
