They are quite thought-provoking questions.
Question 1:
1. I don't want to go out alone. Will you come with me? (intention)
2. I don't want to go out alone. Do you come with me?
In the sentence 1, the speaker ask with an intention. But, what about the sentence 2? Is its meaning close to the sentence 1?
Question 2:
I lost my key in the morning. I have found it now.
when I combine them into one sentence with a defining-clause, I get this answer.
I have found the key that I lost. (without time adjunct)
When I add the time adjuncts into the sentence, I get this.
I have now found the key that I lost in the morning.
OR
I have found the key now that I lost in the morning.
Do you find any ambiguities in the 2 sentence above? or They seem all right.
