    Question Change no change!

    What does it mean? Does it convey any specific concept?

    Could you please give the context in which you read/heard it?
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    Dear Barb_D ,thanks for the answer. Actually there is no example, I read it some where and was wondering if I could you use it in a specific context!

    Absolutely it conveys something,doesn't it?

    It could mean than changes have made no real difference, so the situation is much the same, but it could also mean that there is always change, so the context would be important to get the real meaning IMO.
