[FONT="]Dear all,
In this sentence:
"For UK it’s now home to the world’s largest Nigerian overseas community and the ancestors of many of today’s residents would have caught their first glimpse of the country as they approached these docks"
I can't get the meaning of the highlighted part grammatically. :-( I get that "residents" refers to "Nigerian residents" and "docks" refers to "Liverpool ports"
Thanks,
[/FONT]
