    Default promise

    Dear teachers,

    Could you please tell if it is correct to say "chengeable promises'?

    Sorry for the inconvinience but this is urgent. Could you please kindly reply as soon as possible?


    Thank you in advance.

    A promise shouldn't really be changeable; otherwise, it's not much of a promise.
