2. He now regrets writing the article because it was that that caused him all the problems he's had

Dear ozma:

Do you mean that you need to rewrite the sentences using the 'words given'?

He 'regrets' something he did; he 'now wishes' he had not done this thing.

'If he had not written the article = 'but for (the writing of) the article'
he would not have the problems...


Can you construct new sentences using this information?

I hope this is helpful,
