Hi guys,
Please check. "If the old people used to work hard then they wouldn't have been suffering from obesity or wouldn't have suffered from obesity".
tufguy, you can't keep quoting something and then putting other stuff in the quotes. Can I suggest you do this:
"If the old people used to work hard then they wouldn't have been suffering from obe
sity" or "...wouldn't have suffered from obesity".
The 'or' doesn't belong in quotes, and two alternative phrases don't belong in the same quotes. You are doing well to use quotes, but you can't just add other stuff between them.
"If old people had worked hard, they would not now be suffering from obesity." Is that what you mean?
